Dead Body Transportation By Air Services in Kandla, Gujrat

How does the team conduct a prompt shifting of remains from Kandla in a stepwise manner?

Last Journey organization chooses a unique way to execute the overall process of "dead body air transportation". We divide the team into subgroups for the execution of the following steps.

1. Permission from the authorities to collect and airlift the dead body from Kandla -

It is necessary to collect the legal permission documents from the authorities that are liable to grant permission for airlifting. The team members provide essential details about the deceased person to the authorities. With the help of the local area police, the authorities will verify the given details. Once they find it valid, they grant us a No Objection Certificate (NOC) and other police clearance documents are also granted.

Last Journey workers provide copies of these two documents to the family members of the deceased. These copies should be submitted to the authorities during the paperwork.

2. Keeping the dead body safe during paperwork and air transportation of the remains -

Last Journey workers first contact the local service providers available in Kandla to collect the dead body from the death location and place it in a safe area such as a mortuary house. If it is not possible, the team asks them to arrange a spacious cooling cabinet for keeping the body safe at low temperatures.

Other than that, the team arranges the following services -:

• An equipped ambulance van for the domestic road transportation of the dead body. This will be spacious enough to keep the dead body comfortable during transportation. One or two family members can also accompany the remains.
• The team shifts the dead body to a certified embalming center in Kandla. As in some communities, embalming is prohibited, hence our team members ask first for the permission of the family. In embalming, the team of doctors replaces the dead body fluid with a chemical disinfecting substance.
• To keep the embalmed remains safe while airlifting them, the team arranges a customized coffin box. The coffin box should be breathable and made up of quality material.
• For more dignified dead body air transportation, the team provides a metal container. In this metal container, there are advanced features for cooling and keeping the remains odor-free.

The guardians can also ask to decorate the coffin or container in which the dead body is placed.

3. Necessary documents for the paperwork in the air transportation procedure -:

Documents play a crucial role in obtaining permission and taking the entire process of relocation to the next step. Here, Last Journey team guides the guardians of the deceased person by providing them with a list including all the required documents.

• The death certificate of the deceased is necessary. It should be signed by the senior medical officer available at the hospital. In the death certificate, the name, age, gender and reason for the demise should be mentioned.
• Postmortem reports of the deceased person if asked by the authorities. It is usually asked in the case of unnatural demise like suicide and murder.
• No objection certificate (NOC)
• Local area police clearance for collecting the dead body from the location of demise.
• Certificate of the embalming process. All the reports of embalming should be signed by the senior embalming doctor available at the center.
• A coffin box certificate issued by the local funeral home is also necessary as it ensures that the remains will be safe during air transportation.
• Original passport of the deceased person. The Kandla Airport authority will ask for the cancellation.
• Adhar card and voter ID card of the deceased person are necessary to prove the citizenship of the deceased person.
• A signed consent letter given by the close family members of the departed person. In the absence of the family, a close friend or a reliable team member of Last Journey will perform this duty.
• Clearance from the airport authority of Kandla.
• Clearance from the air traffic control system to airlift the dead body from Kandla to the destination location.
• Form 4 if the death happened at the residential property.
• Form 4A if the death occurs at any of the hospitals of Kandla, Gujrat.

The above-listed documents should be available in the original as well as in photocopy formats. The guardians of the deceased should submit these copies to the different departments while participating in the paperwork.

4. Final steps -

In the final steps of the dead body air transportation, the team books tickets for the air cargo facility and flight services. In the absence of the family and friends in air transportation, reliable team members will accompany the cargo during the entire journey.

We will deliver the cargo to the doorstep of the deceased's family. For this, we need -:

• Name of the receiver
• Contact details
• Address where the cargo delivery is expected by the family of the deceased person.
