Call a doctor
A doctor confirms the death and can give a note on the cause. If the person was under treatment, call their regular doctor or the hospital that treated them. If the death was sudden or unexplained, the police may need to be informed.
Inform family and decide on timing
Call close family first. Decide together when the funeral will be, based on when key relatives can arrive and on your customs.
Keep the person cool
If the funeral is not within a few hours, a freezer box keeps the person presentable. We can bring one at any hour.
The death certificate
Deaths in Hyderabad are registered with the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation or the local municipality. Hospitals register deaths that happen there. For a death at home, the family usually applies with the doctor's note and ID proofs. Ask your local GHMC office for the current process.
