Understanding the Service
What is a Dead Body Ambulance — and How is it Different from a Hearse Van?
Many families are confused about which vehicle to call after a death. Anthyesti provides both — and our coordinator will tell you which is the right choice for your specific situation based on distance, time of year, and destination. Here is the key difference:
Dead Body Ambulance / Mortuary Van
- Equipped with a refrigeration or cooling system to preserve the body during transport
- Used for hospital-to-home transfers or longer journeys where body preservation is needed during transit
- Best for: summer months, interstate transport, hospital discharge cases
- Also called: mortuary van, dead body van, corpse transport ambulance
Hearse Van / Funeral Van
- Decorated funeral vehicle — marigold flowers, ceremonial presentation
- Used for the final journey from home to cremation ground or burial site
- Best for: cremation ground transfers, short local journeys, religious processions
- Also called: funeral van, funeral hearse, dead body car
- Not sure which to call? Call +91-9883318181 — our coordinator will recommend the right vehicle for your situation within seconds.
Our Fleet
Types of Dead Body Ambulance Service — Choose the Right Vehicle
Anthyesti operates three types of dead body ambulance vehicles across India. Our coordinator will recommend the right option based on distance, time of day, season, and whether the body needs to be preserved during transit.

AC Dead Body Van
The standard AC dead body van is the most widely used vehicle for body transport in Indian cities. Equipped with full air conditioning, it maintains a cool interior temperature for the duration of local transfers — hospital to home, home to cremation ground, or short inter-city journeys up to 200 km.
- Full AC interior — suitable for all seasons in India
- Spacious rear compartment — accommodates stretcher or coffin
- Trained driver and attendant included
- Hospital, home, and mortuary pickup
- 24/7 dispatch across all city areas
- Documentation assistance included

Refrigerated Mortuary Van
The refrigerated mortuary van is equipped with an active cooling/refrigeration system that maintains the body at a consistent low temperature (2°C to 8°C) throughout the journey — even on long inter-city routes. Ideal for distances over 200 km, summer transport (March–June), or any case where transit time exceeds 3–4 hours.
- Active refrigeration — maintains 2°C to 8°C during transit
- Suitable for distances 200–1,000 km by road
- Essential during Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Delhi summers
- Stainless steel interior — easy to sanitise
- Trained attendant and driver included
- All documentation and NOC handled

Freezer Box Ambulance
The freezer box ambulance combines the mobility of a dead body ambulance with the deep-freeze preservation of a standalone freezer box unit. The body is placed inside a portable freezer box (maintained at -2°C to 6°C) which is transported within the ambulance van — providing the maximum preservation possible for road transport across India.
- Portable freezer box installed within ambulance
- Deepest preservation for road transport — 5–7 days
- Suitable for long inter-state journeys
- Used when air or train transport is not possible
- All documentation, NOC, and transit permits handled
- Can be left at destination as standalone freezer box
Step by Step
How Anthyesti Arranges Dead Body Ambulance Service
You make one call — we dispatch the right vehicle, handle all documentation, and coordinate the receiving end. Here is exactly what happens.

Call +91-9883318181 — Any Time, Any Day
A trained Anthyesti coordinator answers immediately — 24/7, no IVR, no hold. Tell us the current location of the body (hospital, home, or mortuary), the destination, and any specific requirements. We recommend the right vehicle type (AC van, refrigerated, or freezer box ambulance) and confirm dispatch in the same call.

Vehicle Dispatched to Your Location
The nearest available dead body ambulance is dispatched immediately. Dispatch time is typically 30–60 minutes in major cities. The coordinator confirms the vehicle registration and estimated arrival time. For hospital cases, our team coordinates directly with the hospital mortuary for body release — the family does not need to visit the mortuary desk separately.

Body Loaded with Dignity — Documentation Begins
Our trained attendant assists with the respectful loading of the body — with white cloth, appropriate covering, and temperature setting verification for refrigerated or freezer box vehicles. Simultaneously, our documentation team begins processing the death certificate, police NOC (if required), and any transport documentation needed for inter-city or inter-state journeys.

Transport to Destination — With Receiving Coordination
The vehicle departs for the confirmed destination — home, cremation ground, railway station, or airport. For inter-city journeys, Anthyesti simultaneously coordinates the receiving end: a representative is briefed at the destination city, cremation ground slot is pre-booked, and the family is not left to navigate logistics at the other end.

Full Documentation Delivered
Death certificate, cremation certificate, transit permit, and all required transport documentation are delivered to the family — either physically or digitally. Anthyesti remains available at +91-9883318181 for any follow-up question after the service is complete.
Paperwork Made Simple
Documents Required for Dead Body Ambulance Service in India
Documentation requirements vary by state, transport mode, and type of death. Anthyesti prepares all required documents — families do not visit any police station, hospital admin, or government office.
For Local & Intra-City Transport
- Death certificate or hospital death summary
- Aadhaar card or government ID of the deceased
- Police NOC — required for unnatural deaths
- ID proof of the family member authorising transport
- Destination address and receiving person details
For Inter-City & Inter-State Transport
- All local transport documents (above)
- Transit permit from local municipal authority
- Death certificate certified by local authority
- Police NOC — mandatory for all inter-state transport
- Embalming certificate (if body to be preserved 5+ days)
- Anthyesti handles all documentation. We coordinate with hospital authorities, local police, and municipal offices — so no family member visits any government office during this difficult time.

What Families Say About Anthyesti
Very good service provided by Anthyesti. Very caring and professional approach at a time when the family is distressed. They also provided contacts for services not related to their line of activities...like removal of pacemaker etc. Very satisfied with them. Specially Ashish, the Manager, has been a source of strength during our bereavement. God Bless them all.

Very professional service, with prompt and polite staff. However, I found the cost for flowers to be put on the hearse to be quite exhorbitant, and therefore arranged for that myself. Also, the calls to post review of services should ideally be made at a later time, not when the family is grieving. On the whole, a mostly satisfactory experience.
Anthyesti did a wonderful job in transporting the mortal remains of my late brother-in-law from abroad to Gobindpur. We were initially expecting the body and Bhubaneswar airport but also wanted support till a remote location in Orissa and they finished the last mile without any hassles. God bless the whole team including Abhishek and the Delhi team
