Prasad also owns the Suva Morgue Services based at CWM Hospital, and they provide full services for clients and offer three packages in services which include the morgue and coffin, hearse, chapel and crematorium.

Prasad says this will make life easier for the communities in Suva, due to the distance of other crematoriums in Fiji.

Prasad also sought the blessings from the Turaga na Tui Suva, Sanaila Madanavosa for the newly built Crematorium at Toa Street in Vatuwaqa.

After the traditional presentation, Prasad said the Turaga na Tui Suva was so happy with the Crematorium and the advanced functions.
