Transportation of a deceased before closing the coffin is only possible with a refrigerated vehicle designated especially for the transport of human remains.

Transportation has to be done during the 24 hours succeeding death. Passed this delay, embalming allows an extra 24 hours for transportation. 

Transportation after closing the coffin is possible with a vehicle designated especially for this purpose.

Transportation of a closed casket is done from the place of where the coffin has been closed (funeral parlour, hospital or home) to the place of burial or cremation. 

The Pompes Funèbres de la Brie ensure that in the unlikely event that a person passes away abroad, their remains will be repatriated at the earliest possible time back to France. We also ensure the relevant documentation and authorizations.

In conformity with the French law, once the corpse is arrived in France, the family has six days to organize the funeral and the burial.
