I live in the US, if that makes any difference. When a family moves overseas, how do they get their furniture, vehicles, etc to their new place of residence?

Most large things such as cars, furniture and appliances are sold, rather than shipped overseas. It’s easier and cheaper to buy these things in the new country, especially due to different regulatory and utility standards in the new country.
If something is more valuable than the cost of shipping, they get sent over via a ship. You contact a shipping company, drop off your things at their dock/shipping center and they ship it to the new country. When it arrives, you go and pick it up. This can take several weeks, as they only leave the originating country once their ship has enough cargo to make it worth it.
