  1. The team arranges a fully equipped ambulance van that can provide a spacious area for placing remains and other facilities to keep it safe during local relocation.
  2. The remains will be transferred to the embalming center for medical treatment. Here the doctors replace the dead body fluid with a disinfecting chemical substance. It keeps the internal organs and skin fresh till the doorstep delivery of remains in the UK.
