Discuss Your Family’s Requirements First

Hindu families follow different religious, regional and household traditions. Therefore, our first discussion focuses on your family’s wishes.

Please tell our team:

• The current location of the deceased.
• Whether the relevant authority has confirmed release.
• The preferred wake venue and duration.
• The religious or cultural practices your family follows.
• Whether you have appointed a priest.
• Who will coordinate decisions for the family.
• Any transport or attendance requirements.

You can contact us before every detail is available. Our funeral director will explain what information the next stage requires.

Collection and Care of the Deceased

Once the relevant authority releases the deceased, our team can coordinate collection and transportation.

Next, we discuss the agreed preparation and clothing. Tell the funeral director about any religious requirements or personal preferences before preparation begins.

Where the arrangements require embalming, our team will explain the preparation involved. Families should also clarify any requested services outside the package.

Hindu Funeral Wake Arrangements

Our team helps prepare the agreed wake setup. This may involve the casket area, tribute photograph, seating, refreshments and funeral equipment.

First, confirm the venue and duration. Then discuss the setup that the location can accommodate.

Some items depend on venue permission and practical access. For example, mobile toilet and fridge arrangements require a suitable location.

Ask our team to explain the proposed layout before confirming. This helps the family understand where visitors will gather and where the rites will take place.

Priest Coordination and Religious Rites

The officiating priest guides the religious ceremony. Meanwhile, our funeral team coordinates the practical arrangements around the agreed rites.

Discuss which observances your family wishes to follow and what each stage involves. Also, confirm who will provide the ceremonial items.

Ask whether the quotation includes priest fees and any additional religious services. Coordination does not automatically mean every priest-led ceremony forms part of the package price.

Bathing Rites, Clothing and Ceremonial Preparation

If your family requests bathing rites such as Abhishegam, discuss the details with the priest and funeral director.

Similarly, confirm the clothing and ceremonial items that suit your tradition. The arrangements may include a dhoti or other appropriate clothing for the deceased.

Our team can also assist with family rites such as Ponnarasi where your family practises them. Ask the priest to explain the meaning and participation requirements for each observance.

Who Will Lead or Participate in the Rites?

Confirm the principal mourner and other participants before the funeral day. This gives the priest time to explain their roles.

If a daughter, wife or another woman wishes to lead or participate, tell our team early. We can help coordinate a discussion with the officiating priest about the family’s tradition and proposed arrangements.

Religious practices vary. Therefore, the family and priest should clarify the roles rather than assume that every Hindu funeral follows the same sequence.

Funeral-Day Transportation

The package includes a decorated funeral hearse with floral arrangements and a 45-seater bus for relatives and friends on the funeral day.

Before the day, confirm the transport timetable, boarding location and intended passengers. Also, tell our team about anyone who needs assistance.

If the family requires additional trips or other transport arrangements, discuss those requests and their cost before confirmation.

Cremation Booking and Coordination

Our team assists with cremation booking and funeral-day coordination. The package also includes the Mandai cremation fee.

The booking depends on the necessary documentation, permits, release of the deceased and session availability. Treat a preferred date or time as provisional until the booking is complete.

For official administrative information, refer to NEA’s Burial, Cremation and Ash Management page.

Once the arrangements are confirmed, share the full venue name, address and arrival instructions with relatives.

Ash Collection and Immersion Arrangements

After cremation, our team assists with ash collection. Confirm who will attend, when collection is available and what the family needs to prepare.

Where the family selects sea burial, the package includes a boat arrangement for ash immersion at no additional cost.

Before confirming that option, ask our team about the departure point, attendance capacity, schedule and weather arrangements. Also, clarify whether any requested ceremonies or other additions require a separate quotation.

The family can discuss alternative ash arrangements if it does not wish to choose sea burial.

How Much Does the Hindu Funeral Package Cost?

Contact our team for the price applicable to your chosen arrangements. Explain the wake duration, venue, religious requirements and any additional requests.

Ask for a written quotation that confirms:

• The total amount payable.
• The agreed package inclusions.
• The casket and preparation arrangements.
• The wake venue and duration.
• Whether priest fees and specific ceremonies form part of the price.
• Any exclusions or separately charged services.
• Payment terms and the process for approving changes.
