Belive's Cremation Process and Rituals

The cremation process generally begins with the body being brought to the crematorium in a procession. The family then performs various Hindu death rituals like circling the body and bathing it symbolically.

The final pre-cremation rites are performed near the cremation platform. This includes burning incense and camphor and offering prayers. The chief mourner circles the platform while the body is lifted onto it.

If using a traditional wood pyre, the body is placed on the stack of wood. The chief mourner then lights the pyre to begin the cremation. Close family members gather to watch the cremation until completion.

For electric cremation, the body is placed inside the furnace. Family members can watch the cremation on a monitor screen located outside the furnace room.

Once the cremation is complete, the remains are collected. The ashes are either dispersed in the crematorium or taken away by the family for immersion in the river or sea.
