Viewing / Wake
It is customary for many families to have a short wake before the cremation service. A wake usually takes place in a member of the family's house but it can be held in the funeral parlor or crematorium. Mourners gather around the coffin at the wake and often sing hymns or chant mantras. When the wake is over, the coffin is carried out feet first to the crematorium.
Cremation & Ceremony (MukhAgni)
The cremation must occur as quickly as possible, ideally between 24 and 48 hours after the death. During the ceremony, a selected family member gives the Kartaa—the person carrying out the rites—powers. The timing of cremation should fall between sunrise and sunset.
A Hindu priest is frequently the officiant and handles all Hindu funeral procedures, guiding the family and other mourners in the numerous rituals. Chanting, prayer, and singing are all done during the event. Sometimes flowers or rice balls (pind daan) are placed.Usually a day or two after the cremation, the crematoriums give the cremated remains (asti). Transfer the ashes to an environmentally safe container that dissolves in water. The container must be transported with care and kept in a secure area.
Immersion of Ashes (Asti Visarjan)
Some families wish to take ashes to immerse in the Holy Ganga, sometimes at pilgrimage centers such as Haridwar. It is advised that ashes should be immersed as soon as possible after death, preferably before the tenth day. The individual who performed the cremation should ideally perform the immersion. A close friend or relative can also carry out this rite.
