Lawful Relocation of Deceased from Bangladesh to Laos

Detailed Process Overview

1. Informing Authorities and Securing Permits

   • We notify authorities about the passing of Laotian citizens in Bangladesh.
   • Upon obtaining permits from Bangladesh's local and national authorities, we retrieve the deceased from the hospital or their place of passing.

2. Transfer to Mortuary and Documentation

   • Senior medical professionals conduct initial examinations at certified facilities in Bangladesh.
   • Following confirmation of natural causes, the body is transferred to a mortuary for safekeeping until all legal documentation is finalized.
