What is the process adopted by Last Journey team to conduct a repatriation task?

From notifying the embassies of both involved countries to helping the family receive remains in India, Last Journey takes the onus of every single responsibility.

Here are the major areas we cover under our reliable transportation services.

1. Obtaining clearance & documentation process -

Without legal clearances from higher and local authorities in Italy, repatriation can not proceed further. In the very first step, the team informs the Consulate of Italy about the death and asks for an Export or Transit Permit. This document is counted as the first clearance granted by the foreign authorities.

The team contacts a local mortuary to collect the remains and place them in the mortuary safely. It should be carried out in the presence of the local area police authority. They grant a No Objection Certificate (NOC) in the case of natural death.

Now coming to the medical clearance, the team approaches the mortuary or certified hospital to obtain the clinical Death Certificate. It includes all the essential information about the deceased person. The team mindfully checks them and receives them by signing on behalf of close kin if nobody is participating in repatriation.

2. Embalming and other services for the dead body -

Last Journey team contacts the local funeral undertakings in Italy to attain help & coordination in providing several medical services to the dead body.

• We book an equipped ambulance van for the domestic transportation of the body.
• Hiring dead body freezer box to provide favorable temperature to it.
• Booking a slot in the center for Embalming services. The team will approach only a certified team of doctors for this complex medical procedure.
• Provision of a coffin box that complies with all the standards of Italy government.
• An air-conditioned steel container will be booked if you want to offer additional care to the mortal remains.
