Body Transfer to the Morgue

Transfer is required after official confirmation of death — from an apartment, private home, hospital, hospice, or other location. Moving the body yourself is prohibited by sanitary rules.

The doctor issues the medical death certificate — only then can funeral transport be called. If the document is not ready, the agent will help expedite processing.

Transfer is not a formality but a mandatory step before funeral or cremation preparation. The body is delivered to the morgue for sanitary treatment and further preparation.

We organize transport within Adler, Khosta, central Sochi, and suburbs. A specialized funeral vehicle is used in compliance with sanitary requirements.

We plan the route and departure time based on distance, time of day, and morgue hours. In most cases transport arrives within 1–2 hours of your call.

The agent will give the morgue address, intake procedure, and next steps for documents — you will not have to figure this out alone.

When delivery to another city or region is needed, we prepare the full document package and organize transport by road or air. We work with morgues and funeral services across Russia.

Before long-distance transport the body is prepared at the morgue — embalming or sanitary treatment. Timelines and cost depend on destination; we quote before work begins.

The agent coordinates acceptance at the destination city — without this, transport cannot begin.

You call the agency and provide the address, circumstances, and contact person. The agent confirms details and agrees the transport arrival time.

When the medical certificate is available, a specialized vehicle comes to the address. Transfer is carried out carefully, following regulations and with respect for the deceased.

The body is handed over to the morgue or pathology department. Document processing for funeral or cremation then begins.

Do not touch the body or try to transport it yourself. Wait for the doctor to confirm death, then call the agency.

By agreement, transport from a hospital can be arranged without the family's presence — a representative or agent with power of attorney can complete morgue intake.

Cost depends on address, time of day, and distance. We quote the exact amount on the call — with no hidden fees.
