Why Is International Transportation of Deceased Necessary?
International transportation of deceased individuals is a complex and significant procedure required in cases where death occurs abroad or when loved ones wish to bury the deceased in their homeland. This service includes organizing the transport of the body or ashes, document preparation, and assistance in meeting all international requirements. Cross-border transportation often involves additional formalities and permits, making expert support crucial for smooth and accurate processing at every stage.
Methods of Transportation
Airplane: The Fastest Method
An airplane is the fastest and safest way to transport deceased individuals over long distances. The body is placed in a zinc coffin, which is hermetically sealed and placed in a special container for transportation. The set of documents must be prepared in advance, and a permit for air transport must be obtained from the consulate. Air delivery ensures minimal time expenditure.
Funeral Vehicle: Convenient for Short-Distance Travel
If the distance does not exceed 2000 km, the most convenient and economical method may be transportation by funeral vehicle. This method allows the body to be delivered directly to the burial site, avoiding additional transfers. Proper documentation is still required, and the escort can be arranged according to the family's wishes.
Rail Transport: When Applicable
Rail transport is usually used for transporting cargo 200 when air transport is not possible. This method is more cost-effective but takes more time. Transporting a body by train requires a zinc coffin, which may be sealed with silicone, as well as supporting documents, including a transportation permit and sanitary certificates.
Documents Required for Transportation
Death Certificate
For international transportation of a body, a death certificate is required, serving as the primary document. This certificate is needed to obtain export permission and to process other necessary documents.
Consular Permits
When crossing borders with the body of a deceased person, it is necessary to obtain a consular permit from the destination country in advance. This stage requires accuracy and knowledge of all requirements, as each country may have its own regulations. Consular permits and accompanying documents must be prepared accurately and in a timely manner to avoid border delays or customs issues.
Funeral Accessories
Funeral accessories are required for body transportation. Depending on the family’s preferences, this may include various types of coffins—wooden, zinc, sealed or unsealed. It is also important to consider additional items such as a cover, pillow, clothing for the deceased, and wreaths.
How to Choose the Transportation Method
Comparison of Air and Road Transportation
The choice of transportation method depends on several factors, including distance, urgency, and budget. Air transportation is the fastest but involves significant costs and the need for advance documentation. A funeral vehicle is a more affordable option for shorter distances. Rail transport may be suitable for less urgent cases.
Impact of Distance and Urgency
Delivery timeframes and costs can vary greatly depending on how urgently the transportation needs to be carried out. For urgent deliveries, air transport is recommended, while for less urgent cases, road or rail transport may be more cost-effective.
The Process of Receiving Cargo 200
The Importance of Proper Reception and Delivery
Proper organization of the reception of cargo 200 in the country of arrival is a key stage in the transportation process. All documents must be completed accurately, and customs procedures should proceed quickly and without complications. Depending on the situation, reception may involve direct delivery of the body to the burial site or to a morgue for further funeral procedures and arrangements.
How to Properly Organize the Receipt of the Body
After the body arrives at the destination, it is received at the airport or railway station. The escort must have all documents confirming the right to receive cargo 200. After that, the body is transported to its final destination in compliance with all sanitary norms and transportation regulations.
Repatriation: Features and Stages
How to Organize the Transportation of a Body from Abroad
Repatriation of a deceased person from abroad is a process requiring clear and competent organization. At the initial stage, all official documents confirming the death are prepared, and the body is prepared for transportation. Special attention is paid to compliance with sanitary regulations and obtaining consular permits. The time required for repatriation depends on the route and may range from several days to a week.
How to Properly Prepare Documents for Transportation
To successfully transport a body across borders, a package of documents is required, including a death certificate, a certificate confirming no foreign objects are present, a sanitary-epidemiological certificate, and consular permits. Each document must be prepared in accordance with the requirements of the destination country.
