The paper examines three main issues: (1) death and bereavement practices of Hindus in India; (2) death and bereavement practices of Hindus in England; and (3) a comparative analysis of death and bereavement practices of Hindus and the (Caucasian) English. The paper looks at the differences in bereavement practices of the Hindus in India and in England, and offers practical recommendations, the implementation of which would enable the Hindus in Britain to mirror some of the salient experiences of Hindus in India. The paper proposes a conceptual model which allows one to understand and explain differences and similarities between Hindus and the English in their attitudes, beliefs, and values towards death and bereavement.
