The answer

It is permissible to transport the deceased to their hometown to be buried among their family and Muslims, and for the sake of their family being able to visit them frequently, provided that their sanctity is not violated and that their body does not decompose during transport. This transport must be for a clear benefit. However, transporting the deceased through the aforementioned bank is not permissible due to the ambiguity involved, just as it is not permissible to contract with an interest-based bank.
