About Sikh Funerals

Traditional Sikh Funerals Sydney Services are to celebrate and commemorate the life of a passing individual. As opposed to a traditional funeral service, lamentation is less of a focus; death is recognised as a natural process where the soul becomes reunited with God.

At Sahara Indian Funerals Sydney, our Sikh Funerals Sydney Services takes the stress out of funeral planning, by offering a comprehensive package that makes all the necessary arrangements for you. We take you through every part of the process, so that the final ceremony becomes the most desirable platform for you, your friends and family, to say your final goodbyes.

Whether you wish to have the final ceremony at your home, in the outdoors or at a funeral home; our approach involves creating an individualized solution for your needs.

All Sikh funerals Sydney follow a precise set of recitations and verses, along with hymns, prayers and the distribution of sacred sweets (Prashad).
