INTRODUCTION
We are a professional, reliable removal and transport service
serving funeral homes, coroners, and organ/cadaver donor programs in the CSRA
and throughout the Southeast. We handle more removals and
transports each month than any other removal service in East Georgia
and West South Carolina.
Our goal is to help you serve your families with the compassion and
respect they deserve at the lowest possible price. Our
stability and flexibility allows us to strive to anticipate your
needs.
So what sets us apart from others offering similar services?
-
Professionalism:
-
Every removal,
regardless of location, should be and is carried out as if
the family were present. Our goal is not to be looked on as a
"trade service", but as an extension of your own
staff. All removals are made with the utmost Gravitas and
respect. All GTS personnel are dressed in suits with coat
being worn when coming in contact with family members and
facility staff. This is the case on every removal or
transport regardless of the situation. We will ALWAYS be
in suits. We also take time to show compassion and Gravitas to each
family and give special attention to our actions and comments
on every call. We
feel the first in-person contact with your Funeral Home
becomes the step that sets the overall tone of the
relationship you will have with the bereaved family.
-
Reliability:
-
We
currently have a fleet of fully equipped vehicles in operation and will expand immediately if the need
arises. Our vehicles are late model and equipped with
brand new Junkin or Ferno one man cots with high quality,
quilted unmarked cot covers,
various body bags, protective wear, smooth movers, and other
equipment one would need for virtually any situation. We do not
hesitate on calls or screen out calls-we take them all.
There is always someone standing by waiting for your
call. When overwhelmed with an excessive number of calls
at once, priority is given to removals from public places,
home removals, and calls where the family is present. We
are on call 24 hours/day, 7 days/week, 365 days/year for your
needs. Other services advertise as though they operate
from the Augusta area yet they are 45+ minutes away. Our
office IS in Augusta, GA. Our president is a
resident of Augusta/Richmond County. No other service
can respond to Augusta Hospitals, Nursing Homes, and
residences as quickly as we can. Our office is located
on a major transportation corridor near the corner of Bobby
Jones Expressway and Washington Rd. We also have
vehicles strategically placed throughout the area. This allows us
to respond optimally to any hospital in Augusta or Ft. Gordon within
10-15 minutes.
-
Dedication to you:
-
No one offers the detailed
services we offer. For example, we log and get
signatures for ALL personal effects carried with the
remains. Each decedent is tagged with an identification
bracelet immediately. For coroner/crime lab cases we utilize a
chain of custody log and lock the body bag with a numbered
lock for evidence integrity. We also offer digital
photos of the locked bag if required and numbered, tamper
resistant security bags for personal belongings or other
evidence.
-
Convenient Billing:
-
We offer convenient, detailed itemized monthly
(net 30) billing to everyone. We currently
accept check, money orders, cash, and all major credit cards.

Testimonial
|
|
"I am pleased to
comment on Gravitas Transport Service’s removal and transport
performance. Through my professional relationship with GTS, I
have found them to be very reliable and highly professional.
Their staff is always cheerful and dependable and always pays
careful attention to detail. GTS has demonstrated particular
strengths in showing a genuine concern for my funeral home’s
specific needs. Michael and Dewain are personable and easy to
work with and always willing to go beyond what is required of
them. For these reasons, I recommend Gravitas Transport Service
without reservation."
