Ensuring the safety and preservation of the deceased is a top priority for our experienced team. We understand the importance of delivering the remains undamaged and in the best possible condition for the final rites ceremony. 

Here are the safety measures we implement to maintain the integrity of the deceased’s body throughout the transportation process:

Our Safety Measures Include:

  1. Fully Equipped Ambulance Van: We use a fully equipped ambulance van for safe and secure local transportation of the remains within Dubai, ensuring a smooth journey from the place of death to our facility.
  2. Cooling Cabinet/Freezer Box: To prevent decomposition, we provide a spacious and high-quality cooling cabinet or freezer box to maintain the remains in a cold environment. This helps in keeping the body fresh and slows down the decomposition process during transportation.
  3. Certified Coffin Box: After the embalming process, the remains are placed in a certified coffin box, which is designed to keep them secure and protected. Our team ensures that the coffin box meets all necessary standards for funeral arrangements and air transportation.
  4. Mortuary Facility: If there is a delay in paperwork or if the process takes longer than usual, we book a slot in a mortuary to ensure the remains are stored in a controlled environment, ensuring their preservation until the next stage of transportation.
  5. Embalming Services Dubai: Embalming is critical in preserving the remains for long hours. During this process, professional embalmers replace the body fluids with a disinfecting substance, and the entire body is coated with a special chemical that helps maintain freshness and prevents decomposition. This process ensures that the organs and tissues remain intact and undamaged, even during prolonged transportation.
  6. Proper Sealing and Final Preparation: Once embalming is completed, the remains are securely placed in the certified coffin box and properly sealed, making them ready for safe shipping through airways.

By implementing these comprehensive safety measures, our team guarantees that the deceased’s remains are treated with the utmost care and respect during the repatriation. This ensures that the body arrives in the Philippines in a dignified and well-preserved condition, allowing the family to carry out their final rites with peace of mind.

    • Delivery address for ensuring smooth and accurate delivery of the remains
