What Can We Include in a Celebrant Hindu Funeral?

by | May 29, 2022 | Celebrant, Funerals

It is important to not only find the right funeral director but also to find the right person to help you through the planning for the Hindu funeral through to the scattering of the ashes and the celebration of life.

When you lose a loved one at any age and in any circumstances, it is a very stressful and traumatic time. There are so many things to do and lots of opinions of what to do and how you should do it and how it is expected to happen. Sometimes the expectations of everyone else are not what is right for the deceased or their family.

A Hindu Funeral Celebrant

Working with an Independent Celebrant who has the knowledge of the Hindu Religion and Culture means that you can create a Hindu farewell ceremony that will respect the wishes of the deceased as well as respect the Hindu religion.
