Mumbai Cremation Cost (2026): Electric & Wood Charges + “No Hidden Charges” Guide
Searching cremation charges in Mumbai, electric cremation rates, or wood cremation fees? This page gives you the real cost components (pandit, samagri, transport, booking coordination) and the fastest way to get an exact total. Mumbai costs often change because of traffic + cross-city travel (South Mumbai vs suburbs) and crematorium-specific booking rules.
Updated for 2026. Totals vary by distance, time priority, crematorium availability/rules, and family requirements. We confirm inclusions and the final amount before dispatch.
Quick Summary: Mumbai Cremation Charges (2026)
Electric (basic): Starts ₹12,000
Electric (with pandit + basic rites): Starts ₹15,000
Wood (traditional): Starts ₹25,000
Ambulance / Transport (within Mumbai): Starts ₹5,000 (all-inclusive, no night charges)
Freezer Box: Starts ₹5,000 (up to 24 hours included; pickup + drop + cleaning)
Tip for Mumbai families: cross-city routes (South Mumbai ↔ Western/Eastern suburbs) can change timing and vehicle planning. We confirm the exact total upfront based on your pickup area and crematorium preference.
Why Mumbai cremation costs feel “unpredictable” (and how to keep it clean)
In Mumbai, cost confusion usually comes from split payments: transport, crematorium coordination, pandit scope, samagri buying, and last-minute add-ons when families are already at the ground. Another Mumbai reality is logistics: a short distance on the map can still mean long time on-road due to traffic and route constraints (especially during peak hours and cross-city travel).
This guide gives you a clear table first, then packages (mini → standard → wood), then a practical breakup, and finally the hidden charges to watch. We follow one rule: the exact total and inclusions are confirmed upfront on WhatsApp before dispatch.
Transparency promise
You get a clear, item-based quote (where needed) and a confirmed total before dispatch. If a crematorium’s process differs, we explain it as “typically/usually” and confirm during booking.

Electric Cremation Charges in Mumbai (2026) — Rates, Booking, and What Changes the Cost

What usually changes electric cremation charges in Mumbai?
- Pickup distance + cross-city travel time (South Mumbai vs suburbs)

- Pandit needed (Yes/No) + ritual scope
- Crematorium availability and on-ground process requirements
Electric options (Mini → Standard)
Basic electric starts ₹12,000 (without pandit).

If you are comparing providers (Mumbai tip)
Ask one question to avoid surprises: “What is included in the total, and what can become extra?” In Mumbai, extra costs often happen from last-minute transport changes, waiting, or ritual scope changes.
