More than just a funeral company…
All that one could need for a dear departed one, we provide it all.
Transfer of deceased
We provide 24/7 professional transfer services for the deceased from hospitals, clinics or nursing homes to the desired place of the bereaved family.
Administrative procedures
To ensure peace of mind of the aggrieved family, we also take care of all administrative works and procedures necessary upon someone passing away.
Holy Bath
Performed by a team of professionals and using special cleansers, we perform the bathing of the deceased on a professional bathing table. Family members do not have to worry about arranging a proper place to carry out this ritual.
(We also allow family members and close friends to participate in the last bathing ritual.)
Standard embalming
We also ensure embalming which totally depends on the client’s choice. We also determine if embalming is needed depending upon the time of cremation or burial compared to time of death.
Preparation of deceased
Body preparation consists of setting facial features, make up and hair styling.
Your loved ones are dressed in clothing provided by the family. We also provide light make up for the deceased (this depends on the family’s decision).
Refrigerated Mortuary Bed (Canapé Réfrigérant)
We provide the best equipment to preserve the body of the deceased until cremation or burial.
Mortuary ornaments
- White sheet
- Tulle cloth (Tuile)
- Chandan
- Lamp
- Lamp Wick (Lamesse)
- Gold pieces
Standard Coffin
A coffin is a specially designed casket that holds a deceased person’s body for a funeral service. Our coffins are suitable for both cremation and burial.
Cremation wood pyre
We employ skilled professionals that can install wood for the pyre. They tactically arrange the wood so that the flames will consume the wood and the body without the need for a catalyst.
Aluminium Palanquin (Non decorated)
We also save clients the hassle of having to look or to build a palanquin to carry the deceased to the cremation ground.
(The family can decorate the palanquin accordingly.)
Pallbearer (Shouldering)
Not everyone has people to carry them on shoulders for their last journey. People living in homes for example may not receive proper funeral services if there is no one to take care of. We cater for that part too.
Families can hire the services of pallbearers. The palanquin is carried at waist level or on shoulders.
Hearse (Cobillard)
Nowadays cremation sites are far away from most residential areas. We provide a helper and a chauffeur driven hearse to convey the deceased.
Cremation Furnace (Incinerator)
In addition to wood pyres, the government of Mauritius has also adopted gas incinerators as a form of cremation. We arrange for that also.
Burial
In specific cases, the body of the deceased needs to be buried. We arrange for that too.
Chairs, Marquise / Châpiteau and lighting
Aum Shanti Funeral Services ensures a hassle free service by providing the bereaved family with chairs, marquise/châpiteau and lighting.
Pandit and Pooja Samaan
The family of the deceased can also rely on us to provide them a bonafide priest and arrange for all the samagri needed for funeral rites.
