International Transportation of the Deceased to Serbia
Introduction
The international transportation of the deceased is a process filled not only with formalities but also with profound human significance. When a loved one needs to be returned to their homeland, every detail takes on special importance. International funeral services cover the entire journey—from collecting and processing documents to organizing delivery to the destination country—ensuring a calm and dignified completion of this final journey.
Transporting a body to Serbia involves a number of formalities that must be meticulously followed. To avoid delays and unforeseen issues, all necessary documents must be gathered in advance and legal requirements for border crossing must be met. A well-structured process ensures timely delivery and eases the burden on relatives during a difficult time.
What to Do in Case of Death Abroad
In the event of a citizen's death abroad, the first step is to report the incident to local authorities. Depending on the circumstances, this could be the police, a hospital, or a consulate. If the deceased had insurance, the insurance company must be notified to clarify the conditions of coverage for body transportation.
Once all local procedures are completed, it is recommended to contact professionals to arrange the transportation of the body in order to avoid mistakes during document processing and transportation.
Stages of Death Confirmation and Body Preparation
Confirmation of Death
The death confirmation process begins with a medical examination. A doctor confirms the death, after which the police record the circumstances. In some cases, an autopsy may be required to determine the cause of death. At this stage, additional death-related documents are also issued, which form the basis for subsequent transportation.
Body Preparation for Transport
Body preparation includes embalming, which slows decomposition and helps preserve the body for an extended period. The body is placed in a zinc coffin, which is sealed and hermetically closed.
Transportation of the Deceased from Abroad
The transportation of a deceased person from abroad is governed by several international regulations. The body must be placed in a hermetically sealed zinc container, and all accompanying documents—including the death certificate and embalming statement—must be translated into the appropriate language and apostilled.
