When a loved one passes away in Pune and the family wishes to perform the final rites in Mumbai, respectful transportation becomes the first priority. Since the distance is approximately 150 kilometres, families generally choose a hearse van or mortuary van instead of air cargo. Moreover, road transportation offers faster coordination and direct delivery to the residence, mortuary, or cremation ground.

This guide explains the complete process of dead body transportation from Pune to Mumbai, including documents, freezer box support, hearse van services, and funeral coordination.

A hearse van is specially designed for respectful transportation of the deceased.

Suitable for:

  • Hospital to home transfer

  • Pune to Mumbai transportation

  • Religious ceremonies

Mortuary Van Service

Step-by-Step Transportation Process

The nearest hearse van or mortuary van reaches the pickup location as quickly as possible.

Step 4: Safe Transportation

Essential Documents

  • Identity proof of the deceased
