In Wales, Britain, Hindus, and Sikhs have found a new place to immerse the ashes of their loved ones after their last rites. After a long-running campaign, bone immersion has been allowed on the banks of the river Taif.
The funeral group, Wales (ASGW), formed in December 2016, was striving for this. It finally started last week, Cardiff, the capital of Wales. ASGW chair Vimla Patel said Cardiff Council funded the construction of the site, and the Landaff Rowing Club and members of the Hindu and Sikh communities of South Wales also contributed financially. Vimla Patel said that after many years of hard work, we have got the place of bone immersion.
The issue of lack of a site for bone immersion was first raised by Cardiff Council Councilor Jaswant Singh in 1999. This was followed by Channi Keller of ASGW in 2013. After nearly 22 years, the campaign has got successful.
Vimla Patel said that there are more than three generations of Hindus and Sikhs settled in Wales. The first generation in our community began to take the ashes and ashes back to their homeland after the funeral, but subsequent generations, either born here or who have spent most of their lives here, carry the ashes and ashes of their loved ones in full. With respect would like to immerse me in Wales.
Speaking on the occasion, a Cardiff Council spokesman said that it took some time to resolve this problem due to the pandemic, but now we have a permanent place, which will be used by the present and future generations of the Sikh and Hindu community. It can be used by Hindus and Sikhs of Britain.
