Immediate Checklist for Hindu Last Rites in Mumbai

In the first few hours, these practical steps matter most. We will guide you through each one with sensitivity.

1) Medical Certification

Secure the Medical Certificate of Cause of Death (Form 4/4A) from a registered doctor or the concerned hospital. This is the first legal requirement.

Reach our helpline at +91-8999653202. Our coordinator begins arrangements immediately, confirming the nearest cremation slot and dispatching a hearse van.

We assist with the antim snan, dressing in the traditional Kafan, and placing the deceased on the Arthi with utmost dignity.

If relatives are travelling, we can arrange an at‑home freezer box within hours, ensuring dignified preservation until all can pay respects.
