Medical & Police Clearance
Navigating Hospital Procedures in Ranchi
Unnatural Deaths at RIMS: If a death is ruled unnatural (accident, suicide, sudden cause), a post-mortem at a government facility like Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) is legally mandatory. Families cannot move the body until a Police NOC and the post-mortem report are issued. Anthyesti helps expedite these clearances.
RIMS (Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences)
Major Government Hospital
Primary center for post-mortems in Ranchi. Our team coordinates closely with the mortuary department to manage release paperwork efficiently and reduce waiting times for grieving families.
Call +91-98833-18181 for assistance with NOCs.
Private Superspecialty Hospitals
Medica, Medanta, etc.
For deaths occurring in major private hospitals, we ensure that the Form 4A (Medical Certificate of Cause of Death) is properly issued before dispatching the mortuary ambulance for discharge.
Ensure Form 4A is signed before booking transport.
Cremation Services
Harmu Muktidham & Local Crematoriums
A significant gap in standard transport services is the lack of end-to-end cremation support. When you hire an Anthyesti hearse van, our service extends to the cremation ground itself. We provide direct drop-offs and can arrange full cremation packages including priests and samagri.
Harmu Muktidham
Primary Cremation Ground
The most prominent facility in Ranchi, located in Harmu Housing Colony. It offers both traditional wood pyre and electric cremation options. Our hearse vans provide smooth transit directly to the pyre.
Namkum Crematorium
Alternative Location
Serving the eastern and southern parts of Ranchi, Namkum provides a quieter alternative. We coordinate bookings and timely arrivals for scheduled rituals.

What is the procedure for unnatural deaths at RIMS Ranchi?
For unnatural deaths (accidents, suicide, sudden unexplained death), a post-mortem is mandatory at a government hospital like Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS).

Anthyesti coordinates with the police and RIMS mortuary to facilitate smooth document processing and transport.
