I am reaching out to lovely people who understand how funerals are organised in Kerala.
My brother died at the beginning of August in Kerala and we were notified a few days later. He lived there for 25 years and we have had absolutely no contact from him for a few years .
The FO have been as helpful as possible but now nearly 4 weeks later we are struggling with finding out any information regarding post mortem,where he lived,how he lived.
We are trying to organise a respectful,dignified funeral/ cremation for him .
We know where his body is but absolutely nothing else apart from the hospital where he is .
The funeral director we have paid,local to the hospital is claiming that the payment we sent over a week ago has not arrived in their account.Am not doubting their integrity but we are not sure where we go from here.
The local police station have not replied to our emails.
We are desperate to know what we can do next, to ensure that our brother is put to rest in a respectful way.
Absolutely any advice from anyone would be appreciated . Thank you in advance.X
