Last Rites for a Hindu are performed according to the deceased’s religious sect, and include cremation followed by disposal of the ashes in a sacred river. These are the final sacraments or samskaras in a series that ideally begins at conception and is performed at each significant stage of life.
Pandit or Pantulu is summoned when a person dies (or nears death), mantras from sacred texts are recited, and ceremonial gifts are prepared. The dead body is moved to the cremation grounds as soon as possible. The final cremation rites are performed by the deceased’s eldest son and the officiating priest.
Following that, the mourners—the immediate family members—are considered impure for 10 days (according to some practices, up to 40 days), and they perform specific rituals. During this time, they perform rites to provide the deceased’s soul with a new spiritual body in which to pass on to the next life. Ceremonies include the distribution of milk and water, as well as the distribution of rice balls. The bones are collected and disposed of on the prescribed day, either by burial or immersion in a holy river. Survivors continue to perform rites honoring the dead, known as shraddha, at specific times.

Nowhere in the Vedas is there any reference of such a system. It is a widespread superstition.
According to Hinduism, Antyesti Sanskar (Last Rites) is the last sanskar of a human being. There is no sanskar or ritual left for any human being after this. In all religions, a dead body must be disposed of. Arya Samaj accomplishes this by burning the deceased body on a wood fire and offering a generous amount of Ghee and Havan Samgri. For this Antyesti Sanskar, the process is carried out in the manner of a Yagya, with the chanting of selected Vedic Mantras.
