The Covid-19 infections in India are spreading rapidly. During these trying times, cremating the dead has become a lucrative business.
Some corporate agencies have stepped in to address the issue of the cremation of Covid-19 victims. Taking appropriate precautions and completing the funeral while no others are coming forward in fear of the virus. From moving the dead in a van to cremating them, the agencies offer a special package, charging anywhere between Rs 30,000 and Rs 35,000 per ceremony. These kinds of services are available in almost seven major cities in India.
Anthyesti Funeral Services has branches in Chennai, Bangalore, Jaipur and Hyderabad. They will charge Rs 32,000 for organizing a funeral in Hyderabad. They complete all the funerals according to tradition and hand over the ashes to the family.
Funeral Seva Services in Hyderabad is also functioning with this kind of scheme. It offers two types of packages, Gold and Silver. With the mortality rate on a steady rise, these corporate-style funeral services’ firms are pocketing as much as the money they can.
