Dead Body Transportation by Air Services in Madurai

How does Last Journey team execute the law-abiding airlifting of a dead body from Madurai?

In a stepwise manner, the teammates of the Last Journey Funeral direction organization perform the overall task. Here we are going to discuss the working approach of the team that helps in the quick shifting of the dead body from Madurai to the home location.

1. Receiving legal permission from responsible departments -:

The team sends an official notification to the authoritative departments of Madurai to obtain legal permits from them. Before issuing the clearance and permission, the higher and local authorities both perform a primary investigation.

In the dead body air transportation, a No Objection Certificate (NOC) and local area police clearance are the two most essential documents. It acts as valid proof of the lawful airlifting of the deceased person.

2. Arranging facilities for the safety of the dead body -:

In the self-transportation, it is tough to keep the remains away from decomposition. Therefore, hiring a professional team becomes crucial here. The team members manage different services to keep the remains fresh till the final delivery.

• The team books a well-equipped ambulance van for safe domestic transportation in the city. It will be spacious enough for placing the body and sitting of 1 or 2 close family members.
• A freezer box will be arranged quickly to provide a favorable cool atmosphere to the dead body. With the help of the local funeral homes, the team arranges this facility at the location.
• After embalming, the team arranges a coffin box. This box keeps the embalmed remains safe during air transportation from Madurai to the homeland.
• For more respectful air transportation, the team members arrange a spacious metal container.

Significance of Embalming in the air transportation of the dead body -:

Embalming ensures the safety and dignity of the mortal remains. In this specific medical process, a team of embalming professionals performs the replacement of dead body fluid. They inject a chemical substance that has disinfecting properties.

Along with this replacement, the doctors cover the dead body with a coating of chemicals. This layer protects the skin of the dead body from damage and decomposition. The deceased's family will receive the dead body in a fresh and undamaged state.

The embalmed remains take place in the coffin box. Our team members will shift the dead body to the airport of Madurai. Here the scanning of the cargo is done by the authorities and then teammates shift it to the air cargo section of the air ambulance service.
