How does the team guide the concerned family in lawfully repatriating the dead body from the UK to Sri Lanka?

1. Seeking legal permit from the liable authorities of the UK -

2. Collecting all the important documents from different departments of the UK -

The team members have thorough information about the guidelines and rules determined by the UK administration regarding corpse repatriation. Hence we approach the appropriate departments to receive the valid and verified documents.

• The death certificate of the deceased person is one of the most required documents. It must have all the essential details about the deceased person. The senior medical officer at the hospital is authorized to sign it.
• Form 4 is needed if the death happened at the residence.
• Form 4A is required if the death happened at the hospital. The hospital authority will issue this document.
• Postmortem reports if any untimely reason caused the unnatural demise of the person. The police send the body for postmortem if the death happened due to murder or suicide.
• The signed consent letter from the family of the deceased is important. In the absence of the family or close friends, the team member will perform this duty.
• Clearance from the local area police.
• No objection certificate (NOC) from the local authorities of the area where the death happened.
• Certificate of the embalming process. The senior embalming doctor should sign it before handing it over to the family.
