Last Journey divides the whole procedure into small subtasks. This helps them eliminate the chances of misunderstanding, delays and other legal obstacles.

1. Receiving permission -

The team members of Last Journey approch the liable departments of French southern territories about the repatriation. They also seek legal permission from them to airlift the dead body from the death location to the home city/town.

No objection certificate (NOC) and local area police clearance are the two most required documents as clearance for the further steps included in the airlifting.

Before submitting these two important documents, the authorities verify the provided information. Therefore, the family should give detailed and clear information about the deceased person.

Right after being hired by the deceased's family, the team of Last Journey pre-books the place in a hospital-linked mortuary. Here, we take help from the local funeral-centric service providers. They collect the dead body and shift it to the mortuary to prevent it from decomposition and damage.

Along with it, the team arranges the following services.

• A spacious cooling cabinet or freezer box offers a favorable low-temperature atmosphere to the dead body. The local funeral service provider will deliver this box to the location and pick it up after the completion of the services.
