Key Documentation for Dead Body Transport from Tanzania

The repatriation process starts with gathering the required documentation. Having the correct papers ensures that your loved one can be transported legally and without delays.

 Death Certificate

The first step is obtaining an official death certificate issued by a registered medical officer in Tanzania. This document is essential for all further legal processes.

Embalming Certificate

International transport requires that the body be embalmed to prevent decomposition. The embalming certificate from an authorized embalming facility is required by airlines and customs authorities.

Transit Permit and No Objection Certificate

To transport the body out of Tanzania, you will need a transit permit issued by Tanzanian authorities. Additionally, a “No Objection Certificate” (NOC) is often required by the airline and customs authorities to ensure there are no issues with the transport.

Mortuary Certificate and Medical Clearance

A mortuary certificate is issued by the Tanzanian mortuary or hospital, confirming that the body is ready for transport. Medical clearance will also be necessary to confirm that there are no infectious diseases or public health risks.

Choosing the Right Mode of Transportation:

Air transport is the fastest and most reliable mode for transporting a deceased person internationally. However, specific protocols must be followed to ensure the body is transported safely and respectfully.

Special Cargo Services

The deceased’s body is transported as special cargo. Funeral service providers like Anthyesti have established relationships with airlines to ensure the proper handling and compliance with air transport standards.

Casket and Packaging

The body is placed in a special casket designed for air transport, ensuring it is leak-proof and secure. The casket is lined with absorbent materials to prevent leaks and ensure the body is preserved for the journey.

Direct vs. Connecting Flights

Whenever possible, direct flights should be selected to minimize transit time. If a direct flight is not available, funeral service providers coordinate the necessary connecting flights to ensure smooth transitions between airports.

Navigating Customs Procedures in Tanzania and India

The body will go through customs checks in both Tanzania and India. It’s essential to comply with regulations to avoid delays at both departure and arrival points.

Tanzanian Customs Clearance

In Tanzania, the body will undergo inspection by customs authorities, who will verify the paperwork and ensure compliance with the transit regulations. Our team at Anthyesti ensures all documents are correctly prepared and submitted to facilitate a smooth clearance.

Indian Customs Clearance

Once the body arrives in India, it will go through customs checks again. The necessary paperwork, including the embalming certificate, death certificate, and transit permits, will be checked. Anthyesti Funeral Services will handle the clearance and ensure that the body is quickly processed for delivery to the final destination.

Understanding the Costs Involved in Repatriation

The cost of repatriating a body from Tanzania to India can vary based on several factors, such as the complexity of the transport, the airline chosen, and the funeral services required.

Key Cost Factors:

  • Embalming and Documentation Fees: Professional embalming services and obtaining all necessary documentation can add to the cost.
  • Airline and Cargo Charges: Transporting the body via air cargo involves fees for special handling, casket preparation, and air transport itself.
  • Customs Fees: Both Tanzanian and Indian customs may charge for processing the paperwork and inspecting the body.
  • Funeral Services in India: Arranging for the final rites, whether burial or cremation,  adds to the overall cost of the repatriation.

Cultural and Religious Considerations in India

India has diverse cultural and religious practices, and the funeral rituals will depend on the religion of the deceased. It’s important to coordinate with your funeral service provider to ensure these customs are respected.

Arranging Religious Rites

Whether it’s Hindu, Muslim, Christian, or another religion, each community in India has specific funeral rites that must be followed. Anthyesti coordinates with local temples, mosques, churches, and other places of worship to arrange for the rites in accordance with the deceased’s faith.

Coordination with Family and Local Funeral Homes

Upon arrival in India, the body may need to be transported to a family home or funeral home. Anthyesti Funeral Services will take care of the transportation and ensure the body reaches its destination without delays.
