Certificate for Transportation of Ashes or Dead Body to India
This service has NOT been outsourced to VFS Global. To facilitate transportation of dead body or ashes of a deceased Indian or person of Indian origin, we provide the requisite certificate. To issue the certificate, we will need following documents:
* Death Certificate in original from Canadian authorities.
* Coroner’s Report and/or Autopsy Report of the hospital in case of un-natural death such as cases of suicide/murder/accident.
* Funeral Home Certificate in original.
* Indian and/or Canadian Passport in original of the deceased.
* In case it is desired to transport the dead body to India instead of the ashes, original report of the person who embalmed the body and a certificate from the Manager, Funeral Home that the casket was sealed by him and it contained the embalmed body of the person identified by him.
* Photograph of the dead body in case the body is to be transported to India.
* Details of the Airlines Company and flights by which dead body or ashes are to be transported. Name and address of the person accompanying the ashes or dead body is also needed. We incorporate these details in the certificate to facilitate transportation.
* Fee of C$ 48 (to be paid in Cash or by Bank Draft).
The High Commission will return all original documents to the applicant after inspecting them. In case the deceased held an Indian Passport, it will be cancelled and returned to the family members of the deceased.
