Dead body embalming in Kochi (Cochin) and Trivandrum (Thiruvananthapuram) is a well-established service, mainly required for preservation of the body for transportation, delayed funerals, or repatriation abroad. Both cities have advanced medical infrastructure, government medical colleges, and licensed private embalming units that follow standard health and legal protocols. In both cities, embalming is performed by trained professionals using approved chemicals, after obtaining necessary legal documents such as death certificates and police clearance when required. The process helps prevent decomposition, maintain hygienic conditions, and ensure dignity of the deceased during transport and final rites.
