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

Following a structured process helps families avoid unnecessary delays.

Step 1: Hospital Formalities

The hospital issues the Medical Cause of Death Certificate after confirming the death.

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

Step 4: Safe Transportation

Essential Documents

  • Medical Cause of Death Certificate

  • Hospital discharge papers

  • Identity proof of the deceased

  • Applicant’s identity proof

These documents help complete legal and administrative formalities smoothly.

 

Freezer Box Support Before Transportation

A freezer box becomes useful whenever relatives need additional time before the journey.
