We would like to inform you that the Estonian Health Board does not issue a laissez-passer (permission for deceased transport). According to the Cemeteries Act §3, the transportation of a deceased person from Estonia to another country and from another country to Estonia must be carried out in a hermetically sealed zinc coffin filled with absorbent material. For transportation, the zinc coffin must be placed in a tightly closed wooden box. If death was caused by a highly contagious and particularly dangerous infectious disease (yellow fever, viral haemorrhagic fevers, smallpox, plague, or anthrax), the body must first be wrapped in a shroud impregnated with an antiseptic solution.

Tegemist on väljastpoolt asutust saabunud kirjaga. Tundmatu saatja korral palume linke ja faile mitte avada. Dear Sir/Madam, I represent SIA “FUNERAL SERVICE LATVIA” (Reg. No. 40103185394), a funeral service company in Latvia. We would like to ask whether it is possible to obtain the laissez-passer for a corpse (permission for deceased transport) remotely/online from the Estonian Health Board, without visiting the office in person. If yes, could you please advise: * which documents must be submitted, * through which channel (email, online portal), * and how the issued document is delivered. Thank you very much for your kind assistance.
