Anthyesti — Funeral Services in Chennai for Every Community
Chennai stands apart from every other major Indian city in one critical way — it has the highest proportion of Christian population of any Indian metro, with a centuries-old Tamil Christian tradition spanning all denominations from Roman Catholic to CSI (Church of South India), Pentecostal, and Baptist. Alongside a deeply rooted Tamil Hindu tradition and a significant Muslim population, Chennai demands funeral service expertise that most pan-India providers simply do not have.
Anthyesti’s funeral services in Chennai cover every community with dedicated experience — Tamil Hindu cremation at Besant Nagar, Velangadu, and Mylapore; Christian burial coordination with all denominations; Muslim Janaza and burial at Chennai graveyards; and all documentation including the GCC (Greater Chennai Corporation) death certificate.
We cover all Chennai zones — North Chennai, South Chennai, Central, and extended areas including Tambaram, Porur, Ambattur, Thiruvottiyur, and the broader Chennai Metropolitan Area (CMA). Dispatch within 1–2 hours of your call, 24/7.
- One call does it all. Call +91-9883318181 — our Chennai coordinator answers immediately, 24/7, including Christmas, Easter, Pongal, Diwali, and all Tamil Nadu public holidays.

What Families Say About Anthyesti
Very good service provided by Anthyesti. Very caring and professional approach at a time when the family is distressed. They also provided contacts for services not related to their line of activities...like removal of pacemaker etc. Very satisfied with them. Specially Ashish, the Manager, has been a source of strength during our bereavement. God Bless them all.

Very professional service, with prompt and polite staff. However, I found the cost for flowers to be put on the hearse to be quite exhorbitant, and therefore arranged for that myself. Also, the calls to post review of services should ideally be made at a later time, not when the family is grieving. On the whole, a mostly satisfactory experience.
Anthyesti did a wonderful job in transporting the mortal remains of my late brother-in-law from abroad to Gobindpur. We were initially expecting the body and Bhubaneswar airport but also wanted support till a remote location in Orissa and they finished the last mile without any hassles. God bless the whole team including Abhishek and the Delhi team
