Why Must a Coffin for International Transport Meet Special Requirements?
Transporting a body requires the utmost respect for the deceased and strict adherence to sanitary and safety regulations. A coffin for international transport must comply with specific international standards and regulations. Whether the transportation is by land, air, or sea, special construction solutions are essential.
The key requirements include:
- Metal insert: The coffin is equipped with a galvanized metal sheet that ensures airtightness and allowing for hermetic sealing by welding.
- Absorbent layer: The interior of the coffin must be lined with at least 5 cm thick absorbent material, ensuring absorption of any fluids.
- Structural stability: The coffin must be solidly constructed to prevent the body from shifting during transport.
