Transportation to Varanasi Ghats
Varanasi’s ghats are deeply sacred, but the narrow lanes leading to them require logistical planning. We provide transport up to the main vehicular dropping points, after which traditional arrangements are often made.
Manikarnika Ghat
Primary — Mahashamshan
The most sacred cremation ground in Hinduism. We provide hearse van transport from any hospital, airport, or hotel to the nearest accessible dropping point (like Maidagin or Chowk area), ensuring a dignified handover.
Harishchandra Ghat
Secondary Cremation Site
Features both traditional wood pyres and an electric crematorium. We deploy ambulances directly to the access roads near Sonarpura, providing seamless local transfers 24/7.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a dead body transport service in Varanasi include?
A comprehensive dead body transport service in Varanasi includes temperature-controlled freezer box ambulances for road transfers, hearse vans for local ghat transfers, embalming services, and complete documentation clearance for both domestic air cargo from Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport and interstate road transport.
How is a dead body transported by air from Varanasi?
For air transport, the body is moved to Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport. The process mandates clinical embalming (usually arranged near BHU or major hospitals), an airtight coffin box, police NOC (especially in medico-legal cases), and an airway bill booking with domestic airlines like IndiGo or Air India.
Do you provide transport directly to Manikarnika or Harishchandra Ghat?
For air transport, the body is moved to Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport. The process mandates clinical embalming (usually arranged near BHU or major hospitals), an airtight coffin box, police NOC (especially in medico-legal cases), and an airway bill booking with domestic airlines like IndiGo or Air India.
Do you provide transport directly to Manikarnika or Harishchandra Ghat?
Yes, we dispatch specialized hearse vans and standard ambulances to navigate the narrow access routes leading up to the main dropping points for Manikarnika Ghat and Harishchandra Ghat. From the dropping point, traditional stretchers are often used due to the ancient city’s topography.
What documents are required for transporting a body out of Varanasi?
You will need the original hospital death certificate (Form 4 or Form 4A), the deceased’s Aadhaar/ID, an embalming certificate, and a police NOC from the local police station if the death was unnatural. Air transport also requires a coffin sealing certificate.
What is the procedure if the death occurs at BHU (Sir Sunderlal Hospital)?
If the death happens at Sir Sunderlal Hospital (BHU), families must obtain the official death summary and Form 4 before discharge. If it is an unnatural death, a post-mortem at the BHU mortuary is mandatory, and a Police NOC from the Lanka Police Station is required before the body can be released for transport.
How quickly can a freezer box ambulance reach my location in Varanasi?
Anthyesti’s emergency response ensures that a freezer box ambulance or a standard mortuary van reaches any location within Varanasi—such as Lanka, Cantt, Bhelupur, or Sigra—within 45 to 60 minutes of your call.
Is embalming required for road transport from Varanasi?
For interstate road transport taking more than 12-24 hours (e.g., via NH-19 to Delhi or Kolkata), clinical embalming is highly recommended and sometimes legally required to preserve the body against decomposition. A freezer box ambulance is also utilized for such long journeys.
Are your services available 24/7 in Varanasi?
Yes, our dead body transport service in Varanasi operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We handle late-night hospital discharges and emergency transfers to the ghats or airport at any hour.
What is the cost of transporting a dead body by air from Varanasi?
Air transport costs from Varanasi generally start around ₹25,000 to ₹35,000, covering the ambulance to Lal Bahadur Shastri Airport, embalming, coffin packing, and airline cargo charges. Exact prices vary depending on the destination city and airline cargo weight rates.
Do you assist with Police NOCs for unnatural deaths?
Yes, in cases of unnatural death (accidents, suicides), a post-mortem is conducted, and a Police NOC is mandatory. Our ground team assists the grieving family in navigating the clearance process at the local police station and hospital mortuary to expedite the transport.
