As such, heer mortuaries strive to provide funeral services that are accessible and affordable to all members of the Sikh community, regardless of their financial means. In addition to the funeral services, heer mortuaries may also provide other services such as the preparation of the body for cremation, the arrangement of transportation for the body and the family, and the coordination of the cremation ceremony itself.
