The management of Jocham Hospital felt it prudential to include this service due to high level charges associated with similar private set up. To bridge this big gap, we came up with the idea of having a cost effective mortuary set up. The mortuary is well equipped with modern equipment for preservation, and has qualified personnel to take care of vital procedures. A body viewing and prayer shed is available. We arrange funeral services in accordance with the wish of families and the deceased. When the body is brought to the funeral home, they are embalmed to delay decomposition. Embalming procedure involves replacement of the blood of the decedent with a mixture of preservative chemicals and dyes, aspiration of the internal organs, and the setting of the persons features. If the deceased was disfigured in an accident or illness, our embalmer utilises retrospective technique to make the body presentable for an open casket service. There is a large area set aside for families to gather at a visitation. This area contains a space to display the deceased in the casket for their families to pay their respects.
