However, funeral service coordinators like Last Ride Funeral can handle advance administrative check-in to secure your token before the family hearse arrives.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_MCD_counter_fees_for_cremation_in_Delhi\"><\/span>What are the MCD counter fees for cremation in Delhi?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<p itemprop=\"text\">Standard MCD counter fees are highly subsidized: Electric cremation costs between \u20b91,000 and \u20b91,500; CNG cremation ranges from \u20b91,200 to \u20b92,000; and traditional wood cremation costs between \u20b93,500 and \u20b96,500 depending on wood weight (typically 300 kg to 350 kg) and municipal sanitation charges.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_documents_are_mandatory_to_get_a_cremation_token_in_Delhi\"><\/span>What documents are mandatory to get a cremation token in Delhi?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<p itemprop=\"text\">You must present four primary documents: (1) Medical Certificate of Cause of Death (Form 4 from a hospital or Form 4A from an attending MBBS doctor for home deaths), (2) Original Aadhaar Card of the deceased plus photocopies, (3) Government photo ID of the chief mourner or informant, and (4) Police No-Objection Certificate (NOC) if the death is a Medico-Legal Case (MLC) or unnatural death.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_cremation_happen_after_sunset_in_Delhi\"><\/span>Can cremation happen after sunset in Delhi?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<p itemprop=\"text\">Most municipal cremation grounds close their counters between 05:30 PM and 06:00 PM. However, designated central facilities\u2014primarily Lodhi Road Crematorium and Nigambodh Ghat\u2014maintain round-the-clock administrative staff. Under special circumstances, emergency wood or CNG cremation can be accommodated after sunset if police clearances and death certificates are fully verified.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_difference_between_Form_4_and_Form_4A_in_Delhi\"><\/span>What is the difference between Form 4 and Form 4A in Delhi?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<p itemprop=\"text\">Form 4 is an Institutional Medical Certificate of Cause of Death issued by a hospital when a patient passes away admitted under medical care. Form 4A is a Non-Institutional Medical Certificate of Cause of Death issued by a private registered medical practitioner when a person passes away at home without recent hospital admission.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_does_an_electric_or_CNG_cremation_take_in_Delhi\"><\/span>How long does an electric or CNG cremation take in Delhi?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<p itemprop=\"text\">An electric furnace cycle typically takes 60 to 90 minutes, while a CNG cremation takes approximately 75 to 100 minutes. Traditional wooden pyre cremations take between 3.5 to 5 hours. For electric and CNG, the mortal remains (Asthi) can often be collected the same evening once the chamber cools, whereas wood pyre ashes are collected the following morning.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_should_I_do_if_the_deceased_person_does_not_have_an_Aadhaar_card\"><\/span>What should I do if the deceased person does not have an Aadhaar card?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<p itemprop=\"text\">If an Aadhaar card is unavailable, the MCD counter will accept alternative government-issued photo identity documents, including an Indian Passport, Voter Identity Card (EPIC), or PAN Card.
