Step-by-Step Air Cargo Body Transportation Process

Step 1: Death Registration and Medical Certification

The process begins with the official registration of the death. The hospital or local authority issues the death certificate after verification.

This document serves as the foundation for all further formalities.

Step 2: Documentation Preparation

Several legal documents must be prepared before cargo booking.

Common documents include:

• Original Death Certificate
• Passport of the deceased
• Passport Cancellation Certificate
• Embalming Certificate
• Coffin Sealing Certificate
• No Objection Certificate (if required)
• Airway Bill (AWB)
• Identity proof of the receiving family member

Proper documentation helps avoid delays during transportation.

Step 3: Embalming and Coffin Preparation

Licensed professionals perform embalming according to international health regulations.

After embalming:

• The body is placed in an approved coffin.
