Dead Body Transportation by Air Services in Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu

How does the team obtain legal permission from the liable departments of the Tuticorin administration?

Right after being hired as a professional companion in the dead body air transportation from Tuticorin, the team informs the legal authority of that particular city about the demise and relocation of remains. The local and higher authorities do a primary verification of the provided information and issue a legal permit to collect the dead body.

No objection certificate (NOC) and local area police clearance are the two most required documents that pace the way for the legal airlifting of a dead body.

What measures does the team take to provide complete safety and utmost dignity to the mortal remains?

Safety of the dead body during air transportation is the prioritized task of the team workers. The team has a wide network in the city and contact details of the certified local funeral homes. We take their help in organizing the below-listed facilities -:

• An ambulance van is for the domestic transportation of the dead body. It has all the basic to advanced amenities that ensure the safety of remains.
• The team pre-books a slot in the nearby mortuary house. With the help of the local service providers, the team shifts the dead body at the mortuary to offer a favorable atmosphere.
• We provide a cooling cabinet at the location to keep the body safe at low temperatures during the paperwork. The local service providers will deliver and pick up the box at the location.
• For more respectful dead body air transportation, the team will arrange a metal container for the final airlifting of the dead body.
• To keep the embalmed body safe during air transportation, the team will provide a certified coffin box.

Why embalming is necessary for domestic air transportation?

It is a medically proven facility that enables the dead body to survive for long hours without being decomposed and damaged. At the certified embalming centers, a team of professional embalming doctors replaces the dead body fluid with a disinfecting substance.

They also cover the outer body with the chemical disinfecting material that keeps the skin fresh till the final delivery of the remains. In some of the communities and religious sects, embalming is forbidden. Therefore the team members first get permission from family members whether they allow Embalming or not.

After embalming, the teammates keep the remains in a coffin box. For more safety, the coffin box can be shifted into a metal container.

How does the team assist the family in completing paperwork or documentation procedures?

The family members and close friends of the deceased who are participating in the airlifting of the remains may have less knowledge of the protocols and guidelines that are determined by Tuticorin authorities. They need stepwise guidance in obtaining the appropriate documents.

1. The valid death certificate of the deceased person.
2. Form 4 for the hospital death.
3. Form 4A for the residential death.
4. Postmortem reports when death happened due to any unnatural reason.
5.  A consent letter signed by the close family members or friends of the departed one.
