The Prayer Hall is the property of the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai and is available for use of all Communities.
The Hall is to be used solely for funerary services (i.e. the customary 4-days prayers of Zoroastrians). No other activities are permitted to be carried out in the Hall.
There is no prior booking system at any Municipal Crematoria in Mumbai and usage will always be subject to availability, on a first-come-first-served basis or as decided with the Chief Priest, (Er. Rumi Panthaky).
Parsi-Irani Zoroastrians can use the hall for any of the 4-day prayers even if the Paidast/Cremation have been done elsewhere.
Members of the Parsi-Irani Zoroastrian Community will be given priority for use of the Prayer Hall.
No provision has been made for cold storage. However names of Funeral Directors will be provided by the Chief Priest Er. Rumi Panthaky upon request.
There is no provision for overnight stay of relatives within the Prayer Hall but there are washrooms available for use and a water cooler.
The Prayer Hall consists of 2 inter-connected Halls which can be used separately or together. Seating capacity is 200.
There are 2 Electric Furnaces, in the adjoining Crematorium, one of which is on a stand-by. It takes approximately 2 hours for a body to be consumed.
Bodies are generally transported from the Prayer Hall by friends / relatives using an Ambulance Trolley which can easily be wheeled down the short path between the Prayer Hall and the Crematorium. There are no Nussersallas at the site, but Crematorium staff do help when required.
The Hall is cleaned daily and there is round the clock security.
