Delhi, a city perpetually in motion, confronts the immutable reality of death with an acute need for respectful funeral services. At Anthyesti Funeral Services, we recognize the profound responsibility of assisting families during these sensitive times. This guide explores the crucial details and expenses associated with dead body transportation services in Delhi.

What is Dead Body Transportation?

Dead body transportation involves moving the deceased from the place of death to a funeral home, crematorium, or burial site. This service is essential for maintaining dignity in death and fulfilling the final wishes of the deceased or their families.

Dead Body Transportation Options in Delhi:

  1. Hearse Van Services: These are the primary means for transporting the deceased. Our hearses are carefully maintained and designed to transport the deceased securely and with dignity.
  2. Ambulance Services for the Deceased: Occasionally, families prefer to use private ambulance services that are equipped to manage such sensitive situations.
  3. Air Transportation: For transporting the deceased over long distances or between states and countries, air transportation is available, necessitating coordination with airlines and airport authorities.

Factors Influencing Costs:

The cost of transporting a deceased body varies depending on several factors:

  • Distance: The main cost determinant is the distance from the death location to the final resting place.
  • Type of Service: The choice of transportation method (hearse, ambulance, or air) impacts the cost, with each offering varying features and comforts.
  • Additional Services: Opting for services like preservation or embalming can increase the overall costs.

Expected Costs in Delhi:

  • Hearse Van: Starting at around ₹5,000 for local transfers, with prices increasing with distance.
  • Ambulance: Costs are comparable to hearse services but can vary slightly depending on the provider.
  • Air Transportation: This is a pricier option, starting from about ₹25,000, excluding additional charges at airports.

Legal and Documentation Necessities:

To transport a deceased body, particularly beyond city or state borders, certain documentation is required to meet legal requirements:

  • Death Certificate: A document issued by a medical officer confirming the death.
  • No Objection Certificate (NOC): Required for interstate or international transportation.
  • Embalming Certificate: Needed for air transport to certify the body has been properly preserved.

Selecting the Right Service Provider:

Choosing a transportation service for a deceased loved one involves several considerations:

  • Reputation: It’s important to select providers known for their careful handling of such services.
  • Transparency: Providers should clearly disclose all costs and services to avoid any hidden fees.
  • Support and Empathy: The provider should offer compassionate support during this challenging time.
