A Goodbye No One Should Have To Miss

A sub-inspector who knew Aryan through his social work called him in 2016 about an unclaimed body. No family had come forward, and the police needed help arranging the cremation. Aryan did not hesitate. He arranged everything required and performed the last rites himself.

When no family came forward, Aryan did. He stood in for people with no one left to claim them, arranging their final rites with the care one would show their own. Since then, he has given 190 unclaimed bodies a dignified farewell.

I take up nearly 20 cases every month, and every time I perform a cremation, I do it as if they were my own. No one should leave this world without the respect they deserve. — Aryan

When Dignity Comes At A Cost

Aryan works as a delivery boy and earns just Rs 15,000 a month. Each cremation costs around Rs 12,000. Ambulance charges add another Rs 1,500 to Rs 2,500, depending on the distance. To make this possible, Aryan borrows money from friends and acquaintances, quietly carrying the financial burden.

But there are times when he has to say no. Not because he wants to, but because he has no money left.

The hardest part is having to say no when someone needs dignity, simply because I do not have the resources to help. — Aryan
