Built on 6 1/2 acres of construction wasteland belonging to GHMC, this modern facility allocated 2 acres of its land assigned for Qabrastan (for Muslims), 2 acres for a Christian Cemetery and 2 1/2 acres for Mukti ghat (for Hindus).
This all-in-one crematorium also includes prayer halls, separate bathrooms, a greenhouse, a special room for performing extra rites (10th day), a power supply with 140 kilowatt capacity solar power, and a special sewage plant.
Equipped with technology, the place facilitates live streaming of the ongoing rituals for those in other countries to see the cremation of their relatives virtually.
The crematorium complex has a ‘zero pollution’ concept in addition to electrical furnaces so as to reduce pollution.
Landscapes for greenery and a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) of 50 KLD capacity have also been planted at the crematorium.
The water will be recycled and used to maintain greenery while music bands will not be allowed inside the facility to prevent noise pollution.
