For example, Air India currently lists documents such as a death certificate, embalming certificate for a body in a coffin, police clearance, cancelled passport, and consular certificate for certain international shipments.<\/p><p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1961\" data-end=\"2223\">For families in Jaipur and other Indian cities, professional coordination can make this process easier.
