Lots of people go to Gaya to perform these rites and the best way is to approach Bharat Sevashram. They arrange every thing as per your requirement & budget. Earlier people were harrased and robbed by the local priests. Bharat Sevashram fought a battle with the local priest mafia and won.
It is quite likely that they have a branch in Varanasi, it is worth exploring.

Gaya priests are notorious ! Bharat Sevashram Sangh (BSS)is doing a praiseworthy service.
