Process and Procedures
Upon receiving notification of a Non-Resident Tamil's death abroad, our team immediately initiates the process of securing necessary documents from the foreign hospital or authorities. We coordinate with the Indian embassy or consulate in that country to obtain death certificates and export permits. Our trained personnel handle all logistics including obtaining proper containers, arranging cargo space on flights, and managing customs procedures.
We work closely with families to understand their cultural and religious preferences and ensure that all arrangements respect their wishes. Once the mortal remains arrive in Tamil Nadu, we assist with final ceremonies and provide support to the grieving family. Our goal is to bring dignity and respect to the entire process during this difficult time.
Financial Support
We provide comprehensive financial assistance to cover the costs of transportation including airfare, customs documentation, local transportation, and other related expenses. Families in financial hardship can apply for subsidized assistance or in some cases, full coverage depending on their circumstances and the NRT Welfare Board policies.
