Repatriation Services from Malaysia to India

Connecting destinations back to the homeland, with our Repatriation services.

The repatriation of human remains from Malaysia to India involves several steps. The process begins once the death has been certified by a doctor in Malaysia. The next step is to obtain the death certificate from the relevant authorities in Malaysia. This document will be required for getting clearance from the Indian High Commission in Malaysia.

Logistics Arrangement

Once the death certificate has been obtained, the logistics for repatriation have to be arranged. This includes:

  • Booking the flight for the human remains. Most airlines require the body to be embalmed and placed in a zinc-lined coffin before transportation.
  • Arranging the export permit from Malaysian authorities. This needs to be applied along with a copy of the death certificate.
  • Getting a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Indian High Commission in Malaysia. This assures Indian customs officials that the body can be allowed entry into India.
  • Confirming the arrival formalities in India. The family or Believ team will coordinate with the airline and destination airport.
  • Preparing necessary documentation like copies of the death certificate, NOC, passport, visa pages, etc.

Mortuary Services

The deceased will need to be kept at a mortuary facility in Malaysia after death. Our funeral director will arrange for embalming, coffin, and storage until the repatriation date.

 Specialized mortuaries offer:

  •  Embalming services to preserve the body before its flight to India
  •  Hygienic cold storage of the deceased in refrigerated units
  •  Paperwork and documentation assistance
  •  Coffin supply according to airline specifications

Repatriation Flight

On the day of departure, the coffin will be transported to the airport and loaded onto the booked flight. The family can choose to accompany the remains on the same flight or take a later one. 

Once the flight lands in India, the coffin is unloaded and undergoes customs clearance. The NOC facilitates this process.

The remains are then handed over to the family or representative in India. They can arrange for final rites and funerals as per local customs with our support.
