Interstate transport of remains.

I work for a local Hospice. We have a patient who will have her funeral and burial in Alabama, but she is currently living with her son in Michigan. Her son wants to know if he can transport the casket from Michigan to Alabama himself in his pick up truck. I would assume the answer is no, but I have not been able to find any information on this. He has a quote of $5000 to prepare the body and transport across the states. Thank you for your help. Juanita L. Signs, ACSW, LCSW, LMSW
