Where is Hindon River Cremation Ground?
The antim sanskar bhumi near Hindon river is on the eastern banks of Hindon Nadi in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. It is administered by Ghaziabad Nagar Nigam, and serves Indirapuram, Vaibhav Khand, Vansundhara, Kashumbi , Crossings Republik, Raj Nagar Extension and Sahibabad.
Reaching the Ghat — Key Routes
| From | Route | Approx. Distance |
| Indirapuram / Vaibhav Khand | NH-9 → Hindon Cut → embankment road off Arthala Chowk | 15–20 min |
| Vasundhara / Kaushambi | NH-58 → Raj Nagar Ext. → Hindon Cut crossing | 18–22 min |
| Sahibabad / Mohan Nagar | Mohan Nagar Road direct to ghat | 6–10 km |
| Crossings Republik | NH-58 approach | 12–18 km |
From our experience: The road leading to the Hindon River cremation ground becomes quite narrow near the entrance, and the gate is easy to miss because there are very few signboards. After crossing Arthala Chowk, drive slowly and keep an eye out for the entrance. If you book a hearse van with us, our driver already knows the route and stays in touch with your family vehicle, so you can reach the cremation ground without any confusion or delay.
Hindon Cremation Ground Ghaziabad — Timings
| Service | Timing | Notes |
| Wood Pyre Cremation | Open 24 hours | Chowkidar present at all times |
| Electric Cremation Chamber | 6:00 AM – 10:00 PM | Confirm slot before arrival — not unmanned overnight |
| Ghat Administration Office | 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM | Nagar Nigam paperwork and slot registration |
| pnadit/pujari ( on site) | 8:00 am to 8:00 pm | Require advance booking |
From our experience: One of the most common reasons for delays is reaching the Hindon River cremation ground after 5 PM and expecting the office to be open. While the cremation can still take place with the help of the caretaker, any official paperwork or Nagar Nigam formalities may have to wait until the next morning. Before we send the hearse van, our team calls the cremation ground to check the latest situation, so your family does not face any unnecessary delays or confusion.

A Family We Helped -Real Experience at Hindon River Ghat
A family from Vaibhav Khand called us at 11: 45 PM after their grandfather passed away at home. The death was not yet certified because their area doctor was not answering, and the relatives were already arriving.
The doctor was available only from 7 AM, but the family needed immediate action. We identified the nearest 24-hour clinic in Indirapuram that could issue a natural death declaration. The family reached the clinic at 12: 30 AM and received the certificate at 1:00 AM. Simultaneously, we dispatched a hearse van and a freezer body to preserve the body with dignity.
By 5:45 AM, all documentation was completed, and the family arrived at Hindon Cremation Ground, Ghaziabad at 5:15 am and the sanskar was completed with full rituals at 8: 00 am.
Total elapsed time from the first call: under 9 hours.
