Asian Funeral Photographer - Photographing a Hindu Funeral

Asian Funeral Photographer, Cumbria,Barrow-In-Furness

Thank you to the family for kindly allowing me to share these images from this beautiful and meaningful day.

As an experienced Asian funeral photographer, I’ve come to understand that every culture, religion, and family experiences grief and remembrance in deeply personal ways. My work has been shaped by the incredible families I’ve met — people from all walks of life, each with unique stories and traditions.

A Funeral at Thorncliffe Cemetery and Crematorium

This particular funeral was a Hindu service held at Thorncliffe Cemetery and Crematorium in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria. The day began at Co-op Funeralcare Barrow where I documented the family’s arrival and the beautifully adorned horse and carriage that would lead the funeral procession.

We then travelled to Thorncliffe Crematorium for the ceremony — an open coffin Hindu funeral, rich with traditional elements including ghee (clarified butter), vibrant flowers, and ritual offerings. The reverence, preparation, and love shown throughout was deeply moving and unlike anything I’ve experienced before. It was a privilege to be invited to document such an intricate and spiritual service.

Following the cremation, the family hosted a reception at The Chetwynde Hotel in Barrow, where family and friends gathered to share stories, memories, and a warm meal together.

My team and I are experienced in photographing and filming Hindu funerals, as well as Sikh, Muslim, Christian, and other traditions. Whether you’re seeking funeral videography, photography, or funeral live streaming, we approach every service with cultural sensitivity, discretion, and care.
