How does the team execute the "Dead Body Transportation from Dubai to Sri Lanka?

The in-depth information on each aspect included in the lawful airlifting of a deceased body enables the team to quickly conclude the paperwork while maintaining the safety of the remains parallelly. 

Take a quick look at the entire process of legal repatriation.

1. Immediate informing the higher & local authorities of Dubai -

The beginning of the legitimate dead body shifting passes only after attaining an on-paper permit from the embassy or consulate general of Dubai. The authoritative officers perform primary interrogation and allow the family or funeral direction team to collect and airlift the remains from Dubai to Sri Lanka.

Besides higher authorities, it is essential to inform the local area police of Dubai where the deceased person was residing permanently or staying temporarily. The police will grant a 'No Objection Certificate (NOC)' only if the death occurred under natural circumstances.

The body will be shifted to the postmortem house if any unnatural reason causes the death of that Sri Lankan citizen.

2. Necessary documents and paperwork for fulfilling legal purposes -

As the deceased's family finds itself unaware of all the legal papers, certificates and other documents required for hassle-free dead body shipping, our team provides a list comprising all documents. It helps the family members avoid missing papers during the process.

• No objection certificate
• Postmortem reports if needed

3. Keeping the remains fresh and undamaged till the doorstep delivery -

Last Journey team members maintain a great balance between the paperwork and the safety of the deceased body parallelly. We hire the below-given services to keep the body unharmed.

Embalming services make the remains capable of surviving for several days or even for weeks. The team has contact details of certified embalming centers available in Dubai. We shift the body there for this crucial medical service. The embalming doctors replace the body fluid with a chemical substance and cover the entire skin with a chemical coating. This procedure keeps the dead body fresh and undamaged.

4. Arrangement of "Two-Way" air cargo services -

Once the team gets done with the paperwork and embalming of the remains, the team members find a suitable time for flight services. We arrange tickets through online methods for airlifting the cargo as well as the family members accompanying the cargo.

In the state of unaccompanied dead body relocation, the responsible team members will travel with the cargo from Dubai to Sri Lanka.
