Most airlines require embalming and an airline-approved sealed coffin before accepting human remains.

Step 4: Airline Cargo Booking

The funeral provider coordinates with Mumbai airport cargo authorities and reserves cargo space on the earliest available flight.

Cargo officials verify every document before accepting the coffin.

Step 6: Arrival in Kolkata

After landing, the authorized family member or local funeral provider completes cargo release and arranges transportation to the residence, mortuary, or cremation ground.

This organized process ensures respectful transportation from Mumbai to Kolkata.
