Dead Body Transportation by Air Services in Cooch Behar

Which steps do we follow as a dead body air transportation team for the safe airlifting of remains from Cooch Behar?

Being a legal and complex task, Dead Body Transportation requires time and a great understanding of the minute details. Our teammates segregate the whole process into small subtasks.

• The team takes the initial step of informing the higher and local authority of Cooch Behar about the death and airlifting of the remains.
• Now we approach the department from where the legal permission is granted. Usually, the local area police provide the NOC (No Objection Certificate) to the team or family of the deceased.
• If there is a delay in the paperwork, the team sends the body to a safe location -mortuary house. We book a slot on a priority basis to prevent the remains from decomposition.
• We contact the responsible departments of Cooch Behar on behalf of the family members for collecting the valid documents. If needed, the team will personally visit the liable authorities.
• If death happens untimely due to any unnatural reason, the team will assist the family in the postmortem process.
• Now the team shifts the dead body to a certified embalming center that is located closest to the death location.
• The embalmed remains are kept inside the approved coffin box. For arranging the coffin box, the team contacts the local funeral home of Cooch Behar or nearby locations.
• The team will further shift the coffin carrying embalmed remains to the scanning section of the airport authority. Here the checking of the box takes place.
• Once the scanning process is done, the team takes permission from the airport authority and shifts it to the air cargo section of the flight or air ambulance.

In the final steps, the team delivers the cargo to the doorstep of the deceased's family. If the family is unavailable to accompany the remains during dead body air transportation, our responsible team members will travel with it.

For the doorstep delivery you must provide us-:

• Name of the recipient
• Contact details
• Address where the cargo is expected
