The death of a dear one can be a heartbreaking tragedy for you. You’re dealing with a lot of emotions that you may not be able to express openly.

How to Transport Your Loved One From Nepal to India?

Repatriation and Embalming

Embalming is essential for dead body transportation from Nepal to India. The embalming service by a trusted funeral service, like the Last Journey, will be available on-site. Off-site embalming and preparation for international shipment may also be done.

Following the decision to repatriate the body, the family must choose a funeral home in India as quickly as possible. The personnel of Last Journey will need to liaise with the Nepali mortuary service provider to confirm acceptance and transportation of the coffin from the relevant airline to the closest airport. Please keep in mind that choosing a single airline with as few connections as possible between Kathmandu and your final destination is usually the best option.

Remains Exportation

The following are the local regulations for the exportation of human remains:

– Proper embalming and enclosing of remains
– Certificate of embalming from a doctor
– Police letter
– Customs export statement
– Death certificate

These documents would need to be certified by Nepal’s authorised consular officers. Last Journey will assist you with all of the necessary paperwork and procedures to safely return your loved one to you.
