Transportation of the Deceased (Cargo 200) in Riga: Process and Key Aspects

Transportation of the deceased, commonly referred to as «cargo 200», is a complex procedure that requires strict compliance with established regulations. In Riga, such services are provided by specialized organizations with the necessary permits.

The Riga City Funeral Service and professional funeral homes ensure proper organization of transportation both within Latvia and internationally.

When transportation is required

Transportation may be necessary in various situations. For example, when a person has passed away in another city or country and needs to be transported to Riga or from Riga to another location.

In Riga, this service is often used when funerals are held in the deceased’s hometown or abroad. A funeral service helps determine the most suitable transportation method, taking into account distance and legal requirements.

What documents are required

Transportation of the deceased requires a set of documents. The primary document is the death certificate, along with permits for transportation.

In the case of international transportation, the list of documents becomes more extensive and may include additional approvals. In Riga, a funeral home typically handles all necessary documentation, simplifying the process for the family.

Proper documentation is crucial to ensure transportation without delays.

How the transportation process works

The process begins with the preparation of the body and placement in a special hermetically sealed coffin that meets transportation requirements.

The Riga City Funeral Service coordinates all stages, including cooperation with transport companies and the receiving party.

The funeral service supports the process at every stage.
