๐๏ธ The period after cremation can be marked by long, uncertain waits.
At Newlands City Funerals, we replace that anxiety with speed and complete clarity, especially when it comes to the immediate return of your loved one's ashes.
Unlike services that involve days of waiting, we have streamlined the process to provide you with prompt closure:
โ
Immediate Paperwork: Following the cremation, a family representative is taken to our admin office to sign the official slip acknowledging the receipt of the ashes.
โ
Swift Release: After only two hours, the ashes are prepared and ready to be received by the family.
โ๐Three Dignified Options for Dispersal
We also offer compassionate options right here at the facility for families who wish to complete the sacred rites immediately:
โ
The Ghaat Facility: For families requiring a religious disposal of ashes, our dedicated Ghaat facility is located right next to the crematorium. Here, the ashes can be respectfully dispersed onto a pool of water, allowing for immediate sacred completion of the ritual.
โ
The Ash Box: You have the option to receive the ashes in a formal ash box to be taken home or to a chosen final resting place.
โ
The Sacred Clay Pot: Alternatively, the ashes can be provided in a traditional clay pot, allowing the family to transport them to wherever they wish to perform the final letting go.
Contact us 24/7 for immediate, compassionate support.
