Who collects whatThe ground's charges are paid at its own counter, not to us, and wood is billed separately for a wood cremation. Ask for a receipt for everything paid at the counter, and ask us on the call what your case comes to.

Before you leave

Documents you
must bring.

Arriving without one of these is the most common reason a family is sent away and has to come back. If any of it is missing, call us before you travel.

Ask about your documents

What the ground will ask for

  • The cause-of-death certificate (Form 4 or 4A) or hospital death summary
  • Photo ID of the deceased - usually Aadhaar
  • Photo ID of the family member arranging the cremation
  • For an unnatural death: the police NOC

The counter can ask for more than the posted list. If anything here is missing, call before you travel rather than after you arrive.
