  2.    – Embalming: Ensure the body is embalmed according to international standards to prevent decomposition during transport.

Customs Clearance:

  2.    – Inspection: Authorities may inspect the documentation and the container holding the remains to ensure compliance with legal and health regulations.

  2. – Handling: Ensure the remains are handled with respect and in accordance with health and safety regulations throughout the journey.
