Funeral services • Staff should dress, behave professionally

Funerals are the final journey of an individual, and every family hopes to send their loved one off with dignity and respect.

Unfortunately, at a few Hindu funerals I have attended in recent years, I noticed that the appearance and behaviour of some casket company employees fell far short of what is appropriate for such a solemn occasion.

Many staff members are often unshaven and shabbily dressed, presenting an image that does not reflect the dignity associated with funeral rites.
