Cremation services, arranged with patience and respect

A cremation brings together many people and moments — the departure from home, the procession, the rites and the waiting. We coordinate the practical parts so that your attention can stay with your family.

How a cremation is usually arranged

  1. Step 1: We talk with you

    Where your loved one is now, your family’s customs, and when relatives can be present.

  2. Step 2: The cremation ground

    We help coordinate a suitable time and the requirements of the cremation ground you prefer.

  3. Step 3: Rites and materials

    A pandit and samagri, if you wish, so that the rites follow your tradition.

  4. Step 4: Transport and procession

    A suitable vehicle and, where wanted, flowers and bearers for the antim yatra.

  5. Step 5: Afterwards

    Collection of ashes and support for Asthi Visarjan or other remembrance.

Electric, CNG and wood cremation

Many cities have cremation grounds offering traditional wood pyres as well as electric or CNG crematoria. Families choose for many reasons — custom, time, cost or environmental concern. Availability differs from one cremation ground to another; we will explain the options at the ground you prefer.

Documents to keep ready

Cremation grounds generally ask for identity proof of the deceased and of the family member registering, and a medical certificate of the cause of death where available. The receipt issued by the cremation ground is important — it is often needed to register the death. Requirements vary by city, so we will confirm them with you.
