When death of a NRI or a visitor occurs in the US,
- What are the rules of India about importation of the remains into India?
- have you known or do you have personal experience with handling this situation? If so, can you give details? i.e. have you heard about exporting the body or ash after cremation?

I have found CDC website that gives some info about death overseas.. but have been unable to find similar information from India.

Any information you have would be very helpful. Thanks!
