NEW DELHI: The cremation of George Fernandes will be performed here on Thursday and his ashes will be buried at the Prithviraj Road cemetery the day after, the former defence minister’s wife Leila Kabir said on Wednesday.
Mourners continued to stream in at his residence — Shanti Niwas — in the city’s upscale Panchsheel Park, a day after his death, to offer condolences to the bereaved family.
“There will be a prayer ceremony at our residence tomorrow at 11 am where people can come and pay their respects before his final journey. And, as planned the cremation is to be held at 3 pm at the Lodhi electric crematorium,” Kabir said.
“The ashes will then be buried the next day at the Prithviraj Road Christian Cemetery,” she said. (AGENCIES)
