The trust performs the last rites of unidentified bodies and of people whose families cannot afford a funeral — each according to their own religion.
For any unidentified body found in Indore, the trust informs the nearest police station, completes the paperwork, and then performs the last rites according to that person's religion.
Families who cannot bear the cost of a funeral can also contact the trust. It is always ready to help, and carries out the rituals for their relative.
Support this seva
Three things that would help, today
This is the seva nobody volunteers for, which is exactly why it needs people.
Be willing to be called
Last rites according to a person's own faith need people who will turn up at short notice and are not squeamish. Say you are willing and you will be rung.
Cover the costs of a funeral
Wood, transport, the priest, the rites. The trust does this for people whose families cannot or who have nobody. Ask what one costs.
Tell hospitals and the police it exists
Unclaimed bodies sit because nobody knows who to ring. That is a solvable information problem.
Nothing here is paid for on this website. Every one of these starts with a phone call, because they are conversations rather than transactions — and because the trust would rather know what you are offering than take a card number.
