At City Funerals, we acknowledge the sacred significance of Pitru Paksha, a period devoted to honouring and remembering our ancestors. This time is marked by prayers and offerings that express gratitude, uphold family bonds, and seek peace for the souls of those who came before us.

As a funeral home, this observance deeply resonates with our mission — to preserve dignity, respect, and remembrance for every life. Pitru Paksha serves as a meaningful reminder of the enduring connection between generations, and the importance of carrying forward traditions that celebrate legacy and love.
May this period bring comfort to families, blessings from our ancestors, and peace to all departed souls.

As we commemorate this sacred occasion, let us take solace in the belief that with faith and devotion, even the toughest journeys in life can be faced with courage and tranquility.

From our family to yours, may Lord Ganesha bless your home with strength, unity, and compassion.

City Funerals wishes you a blessed Krishna Janmashtami.
On this joyous day celebrating the birth of Lord Krishna, we are reminded of His eternal message — that the soul never perishes, and that love, compassion, and truth guide us through every stage of life. At City Funerals, we embrace these values, treasuring the moments we share with loved ones and finding peace in the comfort that faith offers beyond this life.

May the blessings of Lord Krishna fill your heart with serenity, your home with joy, and your life with light.

As we celebrate Raksha Bandhan, we are reminded of the sacred bond between siblings — a bond rooted in love, protection, and remembrance.

As a funeral home, we understand the importance of family, tradition, and honoring those connections that endure even beyond this life. Today, we join you in cherishing these timeless ties.
May this Raksha Bandhan bring peace, love, and unity to your home.

With heartfelt wishes,
The City Funerals Team

Varalakshmi Vratham Blessings from City Funerals.

Today, we celebrate Goddess Lakshmi, the giver of boons, wealth, and well-being. Across many homes, women offer prayers for the well-being, success, and longevity of their loved ones, reminding us of the deep bonds that connect us beyond life itself. We honor these traditions that cherish love, memory, and togetherness. May this day bring peace to the hearts of those remembering their loved ones, and blessings to every home with harmony and protection.
May the grace of Varalakshmi Devi guide us in both remembrance and hope.
