1. Get the clearance from higher & local authorities -
After getting hired by our valuable clients, the team immediately approaches the consulate of South Africa and informs them about the demise of an Indian citizen in South Africa. The authorities grant a Transit Permit for airlifting the body.
2. Coordination with local funeral homes for the safety and comfort of the dead body
Last Journey team has contacts of certified entities in South Africa that are working as funeral homes. We approach them for arranging,
- An ambulance van for local transportation
- Dead body freezer box or cooling cabinet
- Sealed casket
- Coffin box that complies with the shipping rules determined by the government
- Air conditioning container
If there is no prohibition for embalming in the family of the departed person, the team will forward it to the certified center of Embalming. Here the body undergoes a complex medical process in which the body fluid is substituted by a mixture of a few chemicals and water. Along with it, a treatment is also performed by the doctors' team to prevent the skin from any deterioration.
Now the embalmed body is kept inside a coffin box. The box must have perfect sealing properties and metal linings to avoid any chance of spreading a foul smell out of the box.
3. Collecting and arranging all important documents -
From the beginning to the end of repatriation, you will be asked to submit several documents or certificates that ensure the safety of the deceased body.
Here are the essential elements of the documentation process in repatriation.
- Death Certificate
- NOC
- Transit Permit
- Autopsy report if asked
- Embalming certificate
- Coffin box certificate
- Passport of deceased
- Ticket details
- No infection certificate
These documents will be present in original as well as xerox format with you.
4. Online ticket booking -
After fulfilling all the requirements regarding legal duties & dead body preparation, we will check the schedule of air cargo & flight services by South African airline companies. The team will book the tickets for two-way air cargo services and ensure the end-to-end delivery of remains in India on time.
Effortlessly plan a dignified farewell with our 3-step process - Quick, Reliable, and Hassle-Free.
