Legal and Documentation Requirements: The family or next of kin of the deceased person must work with authorities in both the country of death and the home country to obtain the required legal documentation, such as death certificates, embalming certificates, and any other permits needed for the transportation of human remains.
Embalming and Preparation: The body might need to be embalmed and prepared according to international transportation regulations and to ensure preservation during travel. This is especially important for air travel, as it can involve long periods of time between departure and arrival
Casket and Packaging: The body is placed in a suitable casket or container designed for international transportation. The casket might need to meet specific requirements to comply with international regulations.
Transportation Arrangements: Depending on the distance and circumstances, the body can be transported by air, land, or sea. Airlines and transport companies often have protocols in place for the transportation of human remains.
Customs and Immigration: The remains may need to pass through customs and immigration procedures in both the departing and arriving countries. This may involve presenting the necessary documentation and permits.
Coordination with Embassies or Consulates: The relevant embassy or consulate in both the departure and arrival countries might provide assistance, information, and guidance throughout the repatriation process.
Funeral Arrangements: Once the body arrives in the home country, the family can proceed with the funeral arrangements, burial, cremation, or any other chosen final disposition.
