The only document you must have for cremation services in Bangalore is a valid death certificate. A licensed doctor has to determine the reason for the patient’s death. The name, age, and time of the person’s death must be clearly recorded in the death certificate. This document is the most important evidence of death. Before any cremation facility may start, this accreditation is necessary. You should make sure your document is original and not stolen from someone’s ID. Authorities have the right to ask you for the document on different occasions. Always bring some extra photocopies of your documents with you.
Identification documents
It is necessary to confirm the identity of the deceased before any Cremation Service takes place. In all cases, the name on the documents should be the same as the name printed on the death certificate. If you are a foreign citizen, a passport will be required. The authority may ask for evidence to verify the identity of the deceased. Always have a copy of each of your important identification papers, as well as the original. It helps stop identity theft and ensures there are no cases of wrongfully cremating the deceased. It allows for the updated keeping of information in civil records.
Application to the crematorium authority
A formal application is needed before any Cremation Service can move forward. You will receive a form from the crematorium office to get the cremation underway. The family needs to provide the form with truthful information about themselves and what happened. After the documents are confirmed, they book a cremation slot and hand over a receipt. This receipt must be shown in order for the cremation to occur. It gives the official right to carry out the last ceremonies. If the documents are not filled out properly, the whole process might be postponed. Always be sure that all the details in the letter are correct.
An authorization letter from the next of kin
An authorization letter may need to be provided when preparing for cremation. The letter is generally necessary when the main family member cannot approve the cremation. The family members who were close to the dead must sign it. This letter can help protect the family against claims made later. Ensure you bring the signed paper just in case you need to approach a crematorium. It must be clear in the letter that you are writing to the deceased. A signed hard copy of the letter referring to the relationship and contact information is important.
Transit permit
The body cannot be transported legally without a transit permit when the death occurred outside the city. At the scene, the local hospital or local authorities issue transit permission. A transit permit is necessary if the body will be moved outside of Bangalore. Crematoriums require the transit document before they can take the body for a cremation service. A transit permit should provide information about the vehicle, the route, and its destination. Check the local regulations before transporting anyone. It is wise to check the rules in each state before starting the transportation.
