OUTSTANDING QUALITY
BESPOKE SOLUTIONS
Managing the deceased for domestic or international repatriation and contamination control, presents significant challenges: preventing leakage and odour, maintaining hygiene, protecting staff from infection risks and ensuring dignity at every stage. Traditional containment methods, such as zinc or lead lined coffins can be heavy, expensive and often ineffective for containment.
Our custom-designed High Barrier Mortuary, Repatriation and Disaster Response Bags, manufactured from Aluminium Barrier Foil, offer a reliable and practical Human Remains Pouch (HRP) for securely managing a body. Engineered for fully sealed, hygienic containment, it prevents fluid escape, odours and airborne contaminants while meeting the strict requirements of international repatriation standards such as IATA AHM 333 and being suitable for cremation.
Lightweight, durable and cost-effective our bags are available in on-roll or bespoke pre-cut formats, providing trusted protection for:
- Mortuaries
- Hospitals
- Funeral directors
- Coroners
- Specialist repatriation services
- Public health authorities
- Civil and disaster response organisations
- Infection control & crime scene equipment providers.
They deliver high-grade protection for professionals and a compassionate, dignified solution for families.
