Hyderabad: The second wave of COVID-19 becomes critical in the state. The number of confirmed cases and deaths is increasing leading to a fear psychosis.
The fear of the pandemic virus is so great that the family members are not willing to take one last look at their family and they do not like the dead people’s last rituals. The municipal staff perform their last rites of such corpses.
The cremation of the corpses turned into a profitable enterprise and some corporate agencies offered services to transport the corpses from Corona to the crematorium and perform their last rituals through a special package.
These corporate agencies charge between Rs 30,000 and Rs 35,000 for their cremation services.
Ethin City Funeral Service is one of these agencies offering its services in Hyderabad, Bangaluru, Jaipur and other cities.
The agency is asking 32,000 million for service in Hyderabad for performing the traditional rituals and cremation.
The agency picks up the body from the hospital and takes it to the crematorium ground and after the final rites it hands over the ashes of the ashes.
The agencies have different categories of packages like gold and silver for rich and wealthy.
