Main Stages of Repatriating the Deceased to Armenia
Transporting the body of the deceased to Armenia is usually carried out by plane, which is the fastest and most convenient means of transportation. This ensures that all deadlines are met and allows the deceased to be returned to their homeland with maximum comfort for the relatives.
The transportation process involves several key stages:
Body preparation: Prior to transport, embalming, washing, and makeup application are required.
Documentation: All necessary documents for transporting the deceased to Armenia are gathered.
Transportation: The casket is placed in a specialized container and then delivered to the airport.
Air transport: The body is accompanied throughout the flight and, upon arrival in Armenia, is handed over to a funeral service.
Required Documents for Transportation
To transport a deceased person to Armenia, a number of documents must be prepared in order to comply with all legal requirements and avoid delays. These include:
- Death certificate: Issued by the civil registry office.
- Certificate from the Center of Hygiene and Epidemiology: Confirms that the body is safe for transport.
- Transportation permit: Obtained from the relevant state authorities.
- Passport details of the deceased: Required for documentation purposes.
- Document translation: All papers must be translated into Armenian and notarized.
Casket and Transportation Requirements
One of the most important requirements for transporting a body to Armenia is the selection of a suitable casket. The casket must be made of galvanized material and hermetically sealed to ensure preservation throughout the journey. The inner casket is placed in a wooden container, complying with international safety standards.
It is also essential that the transportation meets sanitary standards, including mandatory embalming and sanitary treatment.
Interaction with the Airline
Once all documents are collected and the body is prepared for transport, interaction with the airline begins. All matters related to transportation are resolved according to the airline's requirements, including the preparation of a zinc casket and conditions for safe transport.
The body will be placed in the aircraft’s baggage compartment, and an accompanying person may remain with it throughout the flight. Upon arrival in Armenia, the deceased will be received and delivered to the final destination.
Cost of Transportation
The cost of transporting the deceased to Armenia depends on several factors, such as the choice of airline, type of casket, and additional services like embalming, document processing, and transportation. The cost is usually calculated individually based on the specific circumstances.
Border and Customs Formalities
Transporting a body across the border requires compliance with all customs and border formalities. All documents must be correctly issued to avoid delays at border crossings. Border control may request additional certificates, such as proof of the body's safety and an export permit.
