Family and friends from far and wide headed to Worli crematorium on Tuesday morning to pay their last respects to Cyrus Mistry. HDFC chairman Deepak Parekh and politicians Supriya Sule and Milind Deora were among the prominent personalities that attended the funeral, while Simone Tata, stepmother of industrialist Ratan Tata, came in a wheelchair to mark her presence.
Most of the shell-shocked visitors maintained their composure as they got down from their vehicles and walked inside the electric cremation facility. A growing number of Mumbai’s Parsis are preferring this funeral method for their departed loved ones over consigning their bodies to the traditional Tower of Silence. Mistry, known for his calm demeanour despite holding high-profile positions, was 54.
