Who We Are
The Spiritual Significance of Varanasi (Kashi)
Varanasi, also known as Kashi or Banaras, is one of the oldest living cities in the world and the holiest of the seven sacred cities (Sapta Puri) in Hinduism. It is widely believed that taking one’s last breath in Kashi or having one’s cremation rites performed on the banks of the sacred River Ganges guarantees Moksha — liberation from the endless cycle of birth and death.
Anthyesti Funeral Services is dedicated to providing families with comprehensive, respectful, and hassle-free cremation services in Varanasi, ensuring that the departed soul receives a traditional and dignified farewell.
What We Offer
Cremation at Manikarnika Ghat
Complete cremation services at Ramakrishna Mahasamadhi Smashan, Kolkata — every service coordinated by a single Anthyesti expert, from the first call to ash collection.
Procurement of Pyre Wood:
We arrange the required quantity of high-quality wood (such as Sandalwood, Mango, or traditional mixes) tailored to your family's budget and traditions.
Dom Raja Coordination
The eternal flame needed to light the funeral pyre must be obtained from the Dom Raja. We handle this coordination with utmost respect and adherence to ancient customs.
Priest Arrangements:
Our experienced Pandits perform the chanting of Vedic mantras to ensure a spiritually complete Antim Sanskar.
Cremation We Offer
Cremation at Harishchandra Ghat: Wood & Electric Options
Traditional Wood Cremation:
Complete arrangements similar to Manikarnika Ghat, offering a slightly quieter atmosphere
Electric Cremation:
A faster, eco-friendly, and cost-effective alternative. Families can still perform the necessary rituals before the body enters the chamber. We assist with booking the electric crematorium and managing the required paperwork to avoid long waiting times.
