Every faith, every tradition, honoured as your own
India holds many ways of saying goodbye. Burial or cremation, prayers at home or at a place of worship, ceremonies that last a day or many weeks — each carries deep meaning. We do not assume. We ask, we listen, and we follow your family’s practice.
Traditions we support
A brief, respectful outline — every community and family has its own practices, and we follow yours.
- Hindu
- Most families observe antim sanskar and cremation, followed by Asthi Visarjan and prayers such as the terahvi. Customs vary widely by region and community.
- Muslim
- Burial, usually as soon as possible, after ghusl and the janazah prayer. We coordinate with the family, the mosque and the qabristan committee.
- Sikh
- Cremation with Kirtan Sohila and Ardas, followed by Sahaj Path or Akhand Path and the Antim Ardas at the bhog ceremony.
- Christian
- A funeral service and, most often, burial in a cemetery — arranged with your parish or church. Some denominations also accept cremation.
- Jain
- Cremation, kept simple, with prayers such as the Navkar Mantra. Practices differ between Digambar and Shvetambar communities.
- Buddhist
- Cremation is common, with chanting and prayers. Practices vary across Buddhist traditions; the family or monastery guides us.
- Parsi / Zoroastrian
- Distinct rites led by the community’s priests. Dokhmenashini, burial or cremation may be followed — we act on the guidance of your Anjuman and family.
- Secular & personal
- A farewell without religious ritual — readings, music and memories, shaped entirely around the person.
Families of more than one faith
Many families today bring together more than one tradition. A farewell can honour both — prayers from each, or a shared gathering where everyone feels welcome. We will help you find a form that feels right to all of you.
Our approach
We do not use religious symbols as decoration, and we never assume a family’s practice from a name. Every arrangement begins with a conversation about what matters to you.
Common questions
Do you arrange burials?
Yes, we can help coordinate burial arrangements for families whose tradition is burial, together with the relevant burial ground or community body.
Can you arrange a religious officiant other than a pandit?
Tell us the officiant your family needs — a granthi, maulvi, priest, or a community elder — and we will help coordinate, usually through your place of worship.
