Posthumous Services
Posthumous Services in Kerala by Ivarmadom Santhosh Swamy
At Ivormadom Santhosh Swamy, Hindu funeral customs are deeply rooted in the belief of reincarnation, where the soul is believed to reincarnate into a new body after death. Cremation serves as a vital post-funeral ritual that severs the soul’s connection to the physical body, allowing it to progress towards mukti (freedom from the cycle of death and rebirth). Our posthumous services in Kerala are designed to honor these sacred traditions and provide support for families during this challenging time.
In Hindu funerals, the body is typically cremated within one to two days after death. The family of the deceased, often guided by a priest, organizes the last rites services. Priests provide the necessary direction and, if required, attend the ceremonies to ensure the rituals are performed correctly. The body is placed in a simple casket, with a brief viewing held before cremation.
The funeral is a month-long series of post death rituals that purify the soul and prepare it for its next journey. These rituals include bathing the deceased’s body with water from the sacred Ganges River and performing various ceremonies to ensure a smooth transition for the soul.
Our posthumous services are conducted with the utmost respect and devotion, assisting the departed in their spiritual journey while supporting their loved ones through this crucial phase.
