3. The measures we take for safe and dignified relocation of the remains -:

Maintaining the safety and dignity of the dead body during the entire process is the biggest concern of the team. There are chances that harsh weather and other factors cause damage and decomposition of the mortal remains.

To eliminate such unfavorable circumstances, we arrange -:

• A fully-equipped ambulance van for safe domestic dead body transportation.
• A spacious freezer box or cooling cabinet for keeping the body at low temperatures.
• Shifting the dead body to a certified center for embalming services.
• For more dignity, the team provides a big and advanced metal container for keeping the dead body safe during air transportation.

Embalming is an essential part of domestic dead body transportation as it improves the dead body's capacity to survive. The team books a place in the certified centers where professional embalming doctors perform a specific medical activity. They replace the dead body fluid with a disinfecting substance.

Along with it, they cover the body with it as well so that the skin remains fresh for long hours.

However, the team first takes the permission of the family as Embalming is prohibited in several communities due to religious values.

4. The final step of booking tickets and doorstep delivery of the cargo carrying remains -:

Once the body is ready to place in the coffin and the paperwork is done, the team books the tickets for air cargo and flight services. We send the cargo to the scanning area of airport and then to the air cargo section of air ambulance.

In case of unaccompanied dead body transportation from Agatti, the team members will accompany the remains throughout the airlifting.

For this, we require -:

• The name of the receiver ( head of the family who is going to receive the cargo)
