Who does what
The airline or its cargo agent books the space and checks the papers. An embalming service prepares the body and the coffin is packed to airline rules. We provide the road transfer to the airport and help the family keep the steps in order.
Papers airlines commonly ask for
Each airline publishes its own list, so confirm with the airline's cargo team first.
- Death certificate
- Embalming certificate
- Police clearance or no objection certificate, where applicable
- ID of the deceased and of the consignee
- Airline booking details
Timing
Paperwork and embalming take time, so same-day flights are often not possible. Plan with the airline before booking any travel for family members.
