If its a road accident, death in hospital due to illness or death due minor incident, then yes Sta HQ could provide such facilities.
"Shaheed" is an honor for the Regiment ! CO or other officer of the Regiment goes and meets shaheed's family and congratulates them for their son has attained martyrdom. An officer or Regimental JCO is tasked with providing further assistance to widow or parents instantly. Burying a Shaheed is not a sideshow for the Regiment.
Doesnt happen like officers from the shaheed's unit will go to meet shaheed's family but burial will be performed by troops of another regiment.
Yes someone from all ranks from parent unit do accompany body of shaheed to home station and participate in funeral but they may not necessarily be in uniform, it primary responsibility lies with concerned station headquarters. Its otherwise difficult for a deployed unit to perform such an activity specially once there may be more shuhaada from the same unit.
