ASTH, India’s first professional service dedicated to repatriation, funeral, and last rites, is now operational across 30 cities, offering crucial support to families during their most challenging times. The service aims to alleviate the emotional burden of loss by providing comprehensive end-to-end cremation services with the utmost sensitivity and respect.

Available in major cities such as Bangalore, Hyderabad, Delhi NCR, and Varanasi, ASTH’s services extend to families who may be away from their native places, need to perform rites at holy sites, or require support during this difficult period. The service is set to expand to more locations in the future, further enhancing its reach and support network.

Prabhdeep Singh, CEO & Founder of RED.Health shared, “ASTH was born from the heart-wrenching experiences of families separated during times of loss in COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve since stood by hundreds of grieving families, bridging the gap, especially for those who are far away from home. At RED.Health, our mission is simple – to be there, day or night, easing the burden when families need it most. ASTH® is the extension of our promise of speed, reliability, and empathy to ensure that no one faces the pain of loss alone.”

ASTH provides a range of services tailored to diverse cultural and religious needs, including options for performing last rites at sacred locations like Varanasi, Gaya, and Triveni. The service also offers assistance with asthi-visarjan and includes experienced professionals, such as pandits from various linguistic and religious backgrounds (e.g., Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada), to ensure adherence to family traditions.

With a daily mortality rate of 27,000 in India, many families face difficulties in arranging a proper farewell due to the lack of professional services. ASTH addresses these challenges by offering 24/7 on-site assistance, using technology to help locate the nearest cremation grounds and ensuring timely arrangements. The service also tackles common concerns such as overcharging and hidden costs, providing transparent pricing and eliminating unexpected expenses to ease the burden on grieving families.

Available around the clock, ASTH strives to offer support with the highest levels of care and empathy, ensuring that families receive the help they need during their time of grief.
