Are there regulations for the transportation containers used for bodies during international transport?

Answer: Yes, international transportation requires the use of containers that meet specific standards. Common requirements include:

•  Wooden caskets for embalming: The body must be placed in an embalming wooden casket, made from specific materials that effectively prevent leakage and protect the body.

• Sealing requirements: The container must be completely sealed to prevent leakage of body fluids or unpleasant odors.

• Airline standards: Different airlines may have their own specific requirements for the transportation containers of bodies, but they generally comply with the standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
