The passage from life into death brings a profound respect for cultural and religious customs, particularly in a city as diverse as Hyderabad. Anthyesti Funeral Services recognizes the significance of these customs during the critical process of transporting a deceased loved one. This article delves into the essential cultural and religious practices that shape this solemn task and illustrates how Anthyesti honors these traditions with their specialized services.

Embracing Diversity:

Hyderabad is a vibrant blend of various cultures and religions, hosting communities such as Hindus, Muslims, Christians, and Sikhs, each with their unique funeral rites. Acknowledging and honoring these rites goes beyond religious observance—it’s about respecting personal and communal beliefs during sensitive times.

Hindu Rituals:

For Hindus, it is customary to move the body to a crematorium promptly after death. The rites include bathing the deceased, dressing them in specific garments, and reciting mantras. These processes often take place in a procession accompanied by the chanting of hymns. Anthyesti ensures that all aspects of these traditions are respectfully facilitated, including the use of a purified vehicle specifically prepared for these processions.

Islamic Traditions:

In Islam, the deceased should ideally be buried within 24 hours, involving rituals like washing and shrouding the body in white cloth. The transportation to the burial site is conducted with discretion and respect for privacy. Understanding the urgency, Anthyesti offers timely services that respect Islamic burial customs, including the preparation required for Ghusl and transportation to the cemetery.

Christian Customs:

Christian communities in Hyderabad might hold a viewing or wake, allowing family and friends to gather and pay their respects before the funeral service and subsequent burial or cremation. Anthyesti provides services including body preservation, and hearse provision, ensuring the transport and handling of the deceased are conducted with dignity, aligning with the family’s religious customs.

Sikh and Other Practices:

Sikh funeral services typically involve a prayer service followed by cremation. The deceased is washed, clothed in simple attire, and sometimes adorned with symbols significant to baptized Sikhs. Anthyesti respects these customs by providing transport services that ensure dignity and adherence to Sikh funeral rites.
