On behalf of the Hindu community, Desh-Videsh and a few local community leaders approached Funeral/Cremation Vendors in Broward and Dade County and negotiated a fixed price for cremation and last Hindu rites.
Here are proposals from different Funeral/Cremation Sites in Broward and Dade County. They include traditional services and Direct Cremation.
Not too many people know about Direct Cremation. It is a low cost way for the families to carry out cremation for their loved ones. Funeral/Cremation places do not discuss this option for obvious reasons.
For More information,
Please contact Raj Shah at 754-264-6306
Please click the following links for more information. These are the latest prices we have received from Funeral/Cremation home, they may have changed . Please call them and get the latest prices. If the prices are more than listed here, please mention these prices and they may still honor these prices. Also please let us know if the prices they are quoting are different from below prices.
