Anthyesti provides all three modes of dead body transport from Bangalore. Every mode includes full documentation, NOC handling, and coordination at the destination — so your family makes only one call.
Road transport by hearse van in Bangalore is the fastest option for local transfers and distances up to 500 km. Anthyesti operates AC and non-AC hearse vans, equipped with cooling systems for body preservation during long road journeys. Dispatch within 1–2 hours of your call, any time of day or night.
Train transport is the most cost-effective option for distances between 300–1,500 km. Anthyesti coordinates dead body transport by train from Bangalore via Bangalore City Station and Cantonment Station — handling the railway NOC, freezer box arrangement, coffin booking, and receiving coordination at the destination city.
Air transport is the fastest option for long-distance and international repatriation. Anthyesti coordinates dead body air transport from Bangalore via Kempegowda International Airport — handling embalming, coffin preparation, airline cargo booking, airport handling, customs clearance for international cases, and receiving coordination.
You make one call — we handle everything from dispatch to destination. Here is exactly what happens after you call us.
Go to janasevak.karnataka.gov.in — the official Karnataka government portal for citizen services. Alternatively, visit the BBMP portal at bbmp.gov.in. Select the "Death Certificate" service under the "Revenue" or "Civil Registration" section. Create an account or log in with your existing credentials.
Enter all details of the deceased: full name, date of birth, date of death, place of death, cause of death, and the name of the next of kin reporting the death. For hospital deaths: the hospital will have already submitted Form-2 to BBMP — you will only need to apply for the certificate copy. For home deaths: you must register the death first using Form-2 at the BBMP zonal office before applying online for the certificate.
Upload scanned copies of: hospital death summary or doctor's cause-of-death letter, Aadhaar card of the deceased, address proof, cremation or burial certificate, and ID proof of the applicant (next of kin). Ensure all documents are clearly scanned in PDF or JPEG format. Anthyesti prepares and scans all documents on your behalf.
The BBMP fee is ₹50 for the first copy and ₹10 for each additional copy. Pay online via the portal using UPI, net banking, or debit/credit card. Save the payment receipt — it is required for follow-up. If applying through Bangalore One, an additional ₹8 service charge per copy applies.
Track your application status on the Janaseva portal using your application number. If all documents are complete and correctly submitted, the BBMP death certificate in Bangalore is typically issued within 5–12 working days. Download the digitally signed certificate directly from the portal — it is legally valid without a physical stamp. Anthyesti monitors the application and follows up with BBMP if there are any delays.
Gather the required documents based on the type of death (hospital, home, or unnatural — see the Documents section below). Anthyesti prepares all documents on your behalf — including obtaining the cremation certificate from the cremation ground, which is a separate step many families miss.
Identify the BBMP zonal office that covers the area where the death occurred. Bangalore has 8 BBMP zones: Mahadevapura, Bommanahalli, South, West, Rajarajeshwari Nagar, Dasarahalli, East, and Yelahanka. Visit the zonal office that covers the deceased's home or hospital address. BBMP also has death certificate offices at Halasuru/Ulsoor on Swami Vivekananda Road. BBMP Helpline: 1533.
Submit Form-2 (death registration form) along with all supporting documents to the Registrar of Births and Deaths at the BBMP zonal office. For hospital deaths, the hospital typically submits Form-2 directly — you then only need to collect the certificate. For home deaths, you must submit Form-2 yourself within 21 days of the death. After the 21-day window, a late fee and an inquiry by the Medical Officer of Health (MOH) are required.
Pay the government fee at the BBMP office: ₹50 for the first copy, ₹10 for each additional copy. Keep all payment receipts. Also collect the Bangalore One center option if you want a printed, digitally certified copy over the counter — this costs ₹50 + ₹8 = ₹58 for the first copy.
If all documents are in order, the BBMP death certificate is typically issued within 7–21 working days. For expedited processing, Anthyesti coordinates directly with BBMP and typically achieves 5–12 working days. The registrar will notify you when the certificate is ready for collection. Anthyesti collects and delivers the certificate to your home.
