First and foremost, you should accept that you are going through pain and trauma that will slowly recede with time. If you bottle up your emotions, you can end up letting them out in unexpected ways.
2. Get the Death Certificate – Register the death of your loved one with the local authorities(sub-registrar). In case, the registerer or doctor you approached uses a local language, pursue them to get it in English. It will be helpful during cargo shipping. Make sure the details in the death certificate fully match the ones mentioned in the ID of the person.
3. Collecting NOC – After getting the death certificate approach, the local police station heading your district. If the deceased died under suspicious circumstances, the police authorities are likely to investigate the death before giving you clearance. It can take a week or more in this case. If so, find a mortuary and shift the dead body there. Many medical institutions have a freezing unit for the purpose. In both the places, the dead body is stored at a temperature below 0 degrees. This slows the decomposition process, ensuring the dead body is a presentable condition until the last rites.
4. Embalming and Coffin - Most of the airway services will not ship a dead body without embalming. A skillful embalmer can ensure the dead body looks acceptable and not covered in glory, no matter how it is received. He will also provide you with the embalming certificate. For sending it by air cargo, you also need a coffin box and a coffin box certificate. Most airlines have common rules governing the transportation of dead bodies, take a look at them before you go to an undertaker for buying a coffin.
5. Final Journey – The final step is booking of the air cargo. You will have to visit the air cargo department of the airline you wish to book a ticket from. The charges you pay for the shipment depends on the weight of cargo. You should reach the AWS department at the airport before 3 hours of departure with all the documents necessitated. If no one is accompanying the cargo, the details of the receiver are to be listed.
