Transportation of the Deceased to Moldova

When death occurs far from home, close relatives are faced with the difficult task of organizing the transportation of the deceased. Transporting a deceased person to Moldova requires precision, as the process involves many legal and organizational aspects. The most important steps include proper documentation, choosing the means of transport, and complying with all legal requirements. We offer assistance in organizing this challenging task, ensuring the delivery of the deceased with minimal costs and without unnecessary hassle for you.

Issues That Arise During International Transport of the Deceased

Transporting a deceased person across borders is not only emotionally challenging but also legally significant. Problems can arise at various stages: from preparing the necessary documents to choosing the appropriate means of transport. Regardless of how the body is transported to Moldova—by plane, car, or train—it is essential to comply with all legal and sanitary requirements to avoid delays and unpleasant situations.

Body Transportation

When transporting a deceased person, it is important to choose a suitable type of transport. There are three main options: air, road, and rail transport. Each method has its own features and can be selected depending on urgency, cost, and conditions.

Air Transport

Air transportation is the fastest and most efficient way to deliver a body to Moldova. Using air transport ensures prompt delivery, which is especially important in cases of urgent funerals. However, air transport requires a special zinc coffin and the completion of all necessary documentation. Additionally, space for accompanying persons may be needed, which can increase the overall cost.

Road Transport

Transporting by car offers several advantages, such as relatively low cost and independence from regular schedules. This method is convenient if the transportation takes place within a certain region. Specialized hearses equipped with temperature and humidity control systems ensure the body is preserved throughout the journey.

Rail Transport

Rail transport of "Cargo 200" is also possible, although it is less commonly used. The main disadvantages are the longer travel time and the need for additional efforts to unload the body at the destination.

Required Documents

Transporting the body of a deceased person requires a number of official documents that confirm the safety and legality of the process. The main documents required for transportation to Moldova include:

• Death certificate
• Embalming certificate (if required)
• Permit for body transportation
• Certificate confirming the absence of foreign objects in the coffin
• Document confirming the sealing of the zinc coffin

Each of these documents must be translated and notarized. Without the full set of documents, body transportation is not possible.

Zinc Coffin

The zinc coffin plays a key role in transporting the deceased. It ensures airtight sealing and prevents body decomposition. Additionally, a zinc coffin is mandatory for international transportation, as it is a requirement of most airlines and countries. The set may also include other funeral items such as a cover, pillow, and burial clothing.

Transportation Costs

The cost of transporting a body to Moldova depends on several factors: the chosen mode of transport, distance, urgency of transportation, and additional services such as embalming, coffin sealing, and purchasing funeral accessories. Typically, air transport is more expensive than road transport due to additional documentation and handling requirements. We offer competitive pricing for all types of transportation and guarantee transparent cost calculations.
