Funeral services are yet to attain mass popularity in India and are mainly restricted to certain religious communities. Any kind of service that is conducted to show respect to a person who has died is known as a funeral service. However, funeral customs differ widely between religions, cultures and different groups of people inhabiting an area. There are professional organizations that provide such funeral services in the sense that they make all the necessary arrangements for the purpose. These services may include arrangements for the actual burial or exhumation of bodies, procuring coffins as well as cold storage facilities. Nowadays, with the advent of the Internet, funeral services can also be viewed online by those who cannot afford to be at the exact location due to time and distance-related issues. Hide this
