Transportation of Mortal Remains from Thailand to United Kingdom

3. Aligning the Legal Paperwork -

Making sure that valid papers from the concerned authorities of Thailand are available is the most crucial task in the legal transportation of the dead body internationally. The process is effortlessly carried out by our trained teams.

The list of documents required:

• Death Certificate - original as well as duplicate (copy). 
• Passport and other personal documents of the deceased person.
• Permit for traveling from the airport authority of Thailand.
• Embalming certificate signed by professional & certified doctors.
• A letter from the health department stating the noncontagious state of the dead body.
• Certificate for the coffin box to keep the embalmed remains with perfect sealing.
• Details of flight tickets and air cargo tickets with timing, names and other essential information. 
• No objection certificate or NOC
• Local area police permit
• Post-mortem report if death occurred due to any unnatural cause.
• Any proof of the deceased's staying in Thailand like hotel bills, house rent, etc.
• IDs of the accompanying family members who are participating in the Dead body transportation, if any. 

The Last Journey team arranges 8-10 copies of each essential document and the copies of each document are submitted to the different departments related to the Repatriation procedure.

 4. Embalming Services for the human remains -

The team at Last Journey respects the personal beliefs of the deceased and their family members. Therefore, only after consent of the family has been attained, the Embalming procedure is initiated. 

• The move is carried out in a well-equipped ambulance van.
• The remains are kept safe in a cool environment, a freezing box or a cooling cabinet. 
• The embalming procedure includes the expulsion of body fluid from the body. A mixture of chemicals and water in order to preserve the body for long hours is then injected before coating the entire body with natron to forestall decomposition. 
• The remains are then placed and secured in a sealed coffin box.

5. Air Travel Bookings -

After completing the documentation process, Two-way air cargo services and flight tickets are booked.

As per the convenience and availability of the family members, the team finalizes a time slot and books air travel for the body and accompanying family members. 

Note - 

1) The team at Last Journey takes care of transportation of the dead body to the airport through ambulance service, informing the airport authority and shipping the human remains. 

2) If no family member is travelling with the cargo, our team members accompany its last journey.
