Documents and what to check

Documents often include the ID card of the person who died, and property papers such as a rental agreement or deeds if a property is involved. Confirm the list with your provider early. Some providers charge a facilitation fee and pass other costs on to the family, so ask for an itemised price before you agree.

Heat and the mild season

Summers in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Faisalabad are very hot from May to September, so transport, shade and the timing of gatherings need planning in advance. From November to March the weather is mild, which makes travel and outdoor arrangements more comfortable for family and visitors.

Transport between cities

Families often need transport for the body or for relatives travelling between cities such as Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Ask whether transport is included in the price or charged separately, and what distance it covers. Confirm the route and the charge in writing.

What to put in your request

Give the city and area, the services you need, such as washing and shroud, burial, a grave marker or grave upkeep, and the date you need them. If the grave is already in place, say so, because a headstone or upkeep is a separate service. Ask for an itemised price for each one.
