Most of our experience is with Hindu and Sikh faith funerals, as our family background is Hinduism and we also have a very close relationship with the Sikh community. Our understanding of each faith allows us to combine the religious and cultural aspects of the final funeral rites with the UK Cremation & Burial Laws.
