Dead Body Transportation By Air Services in Shillong

What are the steps to execute a legal, safe and dignified Dead body Air Transportation from Shillong?

The team has in-depth knowledge of the paperwork, protocols and guidelines followed in the particular region of Shillong. Besides, we have years of experience in air transportation services. This helps us quickly conclude the overall task in a certain period.

In the below-given steps, the team divides the whole task.

Receiving permits and clearances from the liable authorities -:

The initial step in the direction of the legal dead body airlifting is obtaining permission from higher authorities of Shillong. We inform them about the demise of a non-native citizen in their territory and ask for the No Objection Certificate.

The administration performed a primary investigation and verified the information to grant the family NOC. Apart from that, the team informs the local area police also to receive permission to collect the dead body.

Documentation procedure -:

The papers and certificates play a very important role in the relocation of the mortal remains from Shillong to another destination in India or the world. Last Journey team is fully aware of the documents that are needed for the proof and clearance. We check the validity of the papers by verifying the mentioned information carefully.

Here is the list including all the essential documents along with the name of the department from where they get issued.

• The valid death certificate of the deceased person. The team collects it from a government-approved medical authority in Shillong.
• No objection certificate (NOC) from the nearby police station.
• Postmortem reports if asked by the authoritative departments. In the cases of untimely and unnatural deaths, this document is required.
• Certificate for the embalming services from a certified center available in Shillong. Only the senior embalming doctor can sign it to make it valid.
• Certificate for the coffin box booked from the local funeral home of Shillong. This certificate ensures that the box is fit or suitable to keep the embalmed remains and airlifting them.
• Form 4 if the death happened at any hospital premises located in Shillong.
• Form 4A will be required if the death happened at the residential location. Permanent residence or rented accommodation both come into this category.
• A signed consent letter from the close family member of the departed person. In the absence of family, the responsible teammate will perform this duty.
• The original Indian passport of the deceased person. It ensures the nationality or citizenship of the deceased person.
• All the valid and original IDs of the deceased person. Only an Adhar card, voter ID card and passport are valid identity proof.
• The team members who are participating in the dead body air transportation from Shillong must carry their original IDs with them.
• Clearance from the airport authority of Shillong after the scanning procedure.
• Clearance from the air traffic control system.

These documents act as valid proof of the airship of the mortal remains from Shillong to the required destination. Our team members arrange the photocopies of each important document for the submission.

Safety of the remains -:

The team parallely takes care of the deceased body while proceeding with the paperwork. Before the beginning of the documentation process, the team books a place in the authorized mortuary to keep the remains safe for long hours.

We provide an ambulance van for local transportation, a spacious cooling cabinet for providing a favorable cool atmosphere, a coffin box to keep the embalmed remains, and a qualitative metal container. For all these services, we contact the local funeral homes available in Shillong.

Embalming is also a major part of the dead body air transportation process. However, it completely depends on the wish of the family whether they want to send the body for embalming or not. In this medical process, professional embalming doctors replace the dead body fluid with a chemical disinfecting substance. This improves the capability of the remains to survive for long hours or days.

In the final steps, the team workers keep the embalmed remains safely inside a coffin box and send it to the airport cargo scanning section. Once all the checking is completed, the team shifts the body to the air cargo section of the air ambulance service
