All of us at some point have faced a situation of seeing a loved one in their last few days / hours of life or looking after those who are very seriously ill. It is very important to be able to recite appropriate Jain prayers at this time to give comfort to the person and their family. These last words ensure your loved ones pass away in complete peace or if seriously ill, will give them comfort at a time of need. However not all of us will know what to recite or are in a state of stress where it is difficult to recite.

OAUK are delighted to announce that a team of volunteers from every area have come forward to provide this service to those in need at their hour of need. We have a cohort of volunteers who have been fully trained up under the guidance of Jayeshbhai and chaplain Hiteshbhai Rayani and are ready to provide this service.

THIS SERVICE DOES NOT INCLUDE CONDUCTING THE FUNERAL. IT IS VERY MUCH FOR LAST STAGES OF LIFE OR SERIOUS ILLNESS ONLY.

Please note these members are volunteers of OAUK and there to provide a much needed service. There is no set formula in terms of time they will spend doing this as every situation is very different. They will be able to come to the home or hospital or hospice whenever called by the family. If one person is not available when you call, please try to call another person in your area. We kindly ask you to treat the members with respect at all times.

There is no charge or fee for this service and the volunteer will not take any payment from anyone.
