Transportation of Human Remains: "Cargo 200"
“Cargo 200” is a term used to denote the transportation of the body or ashes of the deceased. This process involves several modes of transportation, including air, sea, and land transport. In the case of international transfers, especially to Colombia, air transport is used for the fastest delivery.
Main Types of Transportation
- Air Transport: the fastest method of transporting a body or ashes. It involves the use of specialized transport and a zinc coffin to ensure airtight sealing and safety.
- Sea and River Transport: used for longer routes where time efficiency and transportation safety are priorities.
- Land Transport: involves the use of specialized vehicles such as hearses. This method is suitable for short-distance transportation.
Documents Required for Transportation
The process of transporting the deceased includes collecting and preparing a number of documents, such as a death certificate, sanitary service reports, export permits, and an inventory of transported items. All documents must be translated into the destination country’s language, apostilled, and certified by the consular department.
Document Preparation Process
- Death Certificate: an official confirmation of death required to initiate the transportation process.
- Sanitary and Epidemiological Certificate: confirms the absence of infectious diseases in the deceased.
- Certificate of Zinc Coffin Sealing: confirms the airtight sealing of the body or ashes container.
Types of Transportation
Air Transport: Advantages and Disadvantages
Air transportation is the fastest and safest method for delivering the body or ashes of the deceased to Colombia. However, this method comes with high costs and requires advance documentation and accompaniment. The main advantage is the high speed of delivery.
Sea and River Transport
Transporting the body or ashes by sea or river is often used when delivery requires additional time and urgency is not a factor. This method is less expensive compared to air transportation.
