The United States Embassy in Lilongwe's list of funeral and mortuary providers, updated in March 2023, includes a funeral home named Sunset Private Mortuary in Kanengo Industrial Area, Lilongwe, with the mobile numbers +265 999 955 675 and 980 111 114. The first of these is the same number given for Sunset Funerals & Repatriation. The embassy states that it assumes no responsibility for the professional ability or reputation of the providers it lists. In the funeral trade, repatriation means returning a body to another country for burial. The same embassy guidance sets out what this involves in Malawi. The Ministry of Health issues a transmittal permit for human remains only once documents have been presented that include a death certificate from the National Registration Bureau, a medical report stating the cause of death and that the body is free of infectious disease, an embalming certificate, and a transport permit from the Interpol section of the Malawi Police Service. The guidance also notes that hospitals can store a body for at most 30 days, and that Malawian law does not regulate embalming. Kanengo is an industrial and residential area in the north of Lilongwe, Malawi's capital, about 10 kilometres from the city centre on the M1 towards Kamuzu International Airport. Opening hours, prices and the countries covered by any repatriation service have not been published online; the number given in the US Embassy's 2023 list is +265 999 955 675.
