Sometimes it is necessary to transport the body between European countries or with intercontinental transport.
Both the repatriation to Italy from abroad and the expatriation of the deceased require an international funeral service, which takes care of the permits and the actual transport.
The Cattolica funeral company takes care of this service and is also a trustee of the Philippine embassy. The transport of the coffin takes place by air, sea or land, with compliance with all the health and hygiene parameters required by law.
The transport authorization is called a mortuary passport and is required by countries adhering to the Berlin Convention, the treaty that regulates all international funeral transport.
What documents to present for the transfer of the body abroad?
To transfer the body abroad it is necessary to apply to the mayor of the municipality of death and obtain authorization for expatriation.
You must receive the ASL certificate of compliance with health laws, necessary for transport, in addition to the death certificate and request authorization from the embassy for the introduction of the body into the country to which it is headed. We can help you with all these procedures.
