How the trip works
We collect your loved one from the hospital, mortuary or home in Hyderabad and place them in the freezer box inside the van. Once the papers are in hand, the van sets off. The driver shares updates on the way and calls the family in Mumbai as the van gets close.
Mumbai traffic can add hours at the end. The driver will call the receiving family as the van nears the city.
Documents to carry
- Death certificate, or the hospital death summary if the certificate is not ready yet
- ID proof of the deceased
- ID proof of the family member travelling in the van
- Post-mortem report and police papers, if a post-mortem was done
- Copies of all of the above, since interstate checkposts may ask to see them
Rules can vary by case. We tell you what applies to your situation on the call. Read our guide to interstate documents for more.
