What To Do | Indian Funeral Service

1 Immediate Steps at Home

In the unfortunate event of a passing at home, there are a few immediate actions that should be taken with care and respect:

Immediately close the eyes of the deceased.
Raise the head to 3-4 inches by placing a pillow underneath.
If required, moisten the lips by applying a small amount of petroleum jelly or water.

2 Medical Certification

The next vital step is securing the proper medical documentation from an attending physician.

Notify the Family Doctor who has been treating the deceased.
The Doctor may ask for details such as full name, age, address, date of birth, occupation, and medical records.
The Doctor will issue a Medical Cause of Death Certificate (Form No. 8 - Old Format or Form No. 4 - New Format) to the next of kin.

Note: The family should make at least 3 photocopies of this certificate for reference before deciding on a burial or cremation service.

3 Death Registration

As per Government rules, all deaths must be formally registered. You or a relative may do so at the local Municipal Office, or you can contact us to handle this process for you.
