Antea's service pays special attention to adhering to various religious guidelines to treat the deceased with respect and dignity.
Christian Funeral Traditions
Christian funeral customs can vary by local traditions. In some places, the body is laid to rest with hands clasped, and a Bible or rosary placed in the coffin with the deceased. Antea ensures that the family's wishes are fulfilled. When organising a funeral, we contact the local church.
Jewish Funeral Traditions
Jewish burial customs strictly regulate the preparation and burial of the deceased. Antea organises the tahara (ritual washing) and provides the takhrikhim (burial garments), ensuring that the funeral takes place as soon as possible after death, in accordance with Jewish religious practices.
Islamic Burial Practices
According to Islamic traditions, the body must be buried quickly after performing the ghusl (ritual washing) and wrapping in the kafan (burial shroud). Antea ensures that the preparation of the deceased and the funeral adhere to Muslim customs. We liaise with local imams and the Islamic community to organise the ceremony.
Hindu and Buddhist Funeral Traditions
Hindu and Buddhist funeral customs require special preparations, including cremation and subsequent rituals. Antea assists in organising traditional ceremonies to respect religious guidelines.
Antea flexibly adapts to the requirements of other religions and cultures, accommodating any special customs or rituals. Our services aim to meet all religious and cultural needs to provide the most appropriate support for families.
Our experienced team respects all religious guidelines, ensuring that the deceased is buried with dignity, meeting the family's and community's needs.
