Funeral and Cremation Services for the Konkani Community
Anthyesti’s Funeral and Cremation Services for the Konkani community follows a traditional funeral rite passed down through generations. After a ritual bath conducted by family and community members, the departed Konkani community member is attired in white cotton garments, symbolizing purity, and laid face down in a coffin. In the company of friends and relatives, male family members lead a procession carrying the casket to the crematory.
Following Konkani Hindu custom, the eldest son or nearest male relative administers the last rituals at the crematorium. This involves circling the body with an oil lamp, consecrating the deceased’s face with holy water, and covering the closed casket with cotton, camphor, and ghee before placing it into the electric cremation chamber.
