Om Shanti
Ash Scattering Services at U.S National Parks
Traveling to India for ash scattering services is costly, stressful, and often impossible for Hindu families in the U.S.
Om Shanti helps grieving families honor those same traditions at U.S National Parks without those same complications
jātasya hi dhruvo mṛityur dhruvaṁ janma mṛitasya cha
tasmād aparihārye ’rthe na tvaṁ śhochitum arhasi
Death is certain for one who has been born, and rebirth is inevitable for one who has died. Therefore, you should not lament over the inevitable
Who we are
Om Shanti was founded by Niraj and Niyanta, a mother-son duo passionate about honoring tradition with love and accessibility.
Niraj and Nate both share a deep bond with their elders and also their tradition— they both wanted to make sacred last rites more personal and more family-centered all while in the U.S. When faced with the fear of losing her Mom, Niraj realized that scattering ashes in a peaceful place nearby meant she could feel close to her, rather than sending her somewhere far in India she may never visit again.
With Niraj’s ongoing health challenges and the high cost of international travel, together, they saw a need for something more meaningful and manageable at home. Om Shanti brings cultural rituals to families here, with dignity, spirituality, and peace.
