The entire final journey
What we take care of
Emergency body transport
The deceased is moved safely — hospital to morgue, home to cemetery, and across greater Mumbai — so the family never has to scramble for a vehicle or a plan.
Preservation at home
Freezer boxes and freeze coffins are delivered and set up at home at short notice, keeping the deceased safe until the funeral while relatives gather.
Preparation & viewing
The body is prepared and dressed with dignity and neatness, with mortuary supplies provided and everything readied for a respectful viewing.
BMC paperwork & NOC
The team handles BMC certification, the NOC and death-certificate procurement — dealing with the municipal offices on the family's behalf, in the correct order.
Burial & cremation
Both Christian burial and cremation are coordinated, with grave and niche arrangements handled directly at IC Church Cemetery.
Flowers & follow-up care
Flowers, wreaths and crosses are sourced at fair prices — and care extends past the ceremony, including quietly tending and decorating the grave afterwards.
Why families trust us
Fluent in the formalities that stall everyone else
In this trade, the difference between adequate and genuinely dependable help lies in fluency with the paperwork — knowing which BMC counter to approach, how to file an NOC, and the correct order in which certificates must be secured before transit and burial can legally proceed. Getting that sequence wrong stalls everything; our familiarity with the formalities keeps the process moving, and we accompany families to the relevant offices rather than simply pointing them there.
Though based in IC Colony, Borivali West, we coordinate arrangements across greater Mumbai — families as far as south Mumbai have engaged us — so distance never forces a family toward a less-trusted local option in a moment of crisis. And all of it comes at rates that stay reasonable and clear from the outset, explained plainly and kept within a family's budget, with no hidden charges on top of their loss.

What families remember
We reached out at the untimely hour of 3 a.m., and he promptly responded and sprang into action without hesitation. Alongside his team, he facilitated the transportation of the departed, planned the arrangements, and handled all necessary paperwork with utmost professionalism. Without their invaluable assistance, we would have been lost.
Mr. Dashrath did a very good job, from start to finish, of my sister's funeral, guiding me all along to the concerned offices to fill out forms for NOCs. He carried the flower petals, wreath and flowered cross, and after 2 days went to the cemetery and planted a wooden cross on the grave, then emailed me a photograph of it. He is co-operation personified, and charged me reasonably, as he always does.
He went the extra mile to even help us with changing the clothes at 12.30 am when no one was there to help. He did all the formalities at the crematorium and helped us with the work at the niche. The work done was very neat, and the prices are affordable.
Dashrath went above and beyond in assisting us with the BMC certifications and all other formalities required for the transit of the body from the hospital to the morgue. His guidance and dedication ensured everything was handled smoothly and with great care. Highly recommend.
End to end service which helps the bereaved family who are in no state to handle paperwork of burial. From setting up the freeze coffin at home, dressing the deceased so neatly, to providing the handkerchief to cover the face at the graveyard — absolutely perfectly handled. Punctual to the core.
Even though we stayed in south Mumbai we hired their services based in Borivali. They were really really good: very professional and extremely reasonable rates than most other undertakers in Mumbai. God bless their team.
He helped us with every detail calmly and patiently, and really knew how to get things done without adding any stress. Kind, efficient, and always just a call away. Highly recommend!
The personalized service given by Dashrath and his team was excellent, including the response time, paperwork and documentation. Their coordination and timing was perfect and every detail was handled smoothly. A big thank you to Dashrath and the team.
