AC To Marble Flooring, This Crematorium In UP's Etawah Has Undergone A Remarkable Renovation

A crematorium is generally a sad place to be. People come there to bid their loved ones a final farewell after the last rites. The crematorium located on the banks of the Yamuna River in Etawah, Uttar Pradesh, is undergoing a rapid transformation to bring some comfort to those visiting in times of grief.

Led by Mrs Jyoti Gupta, President of Etawah Nagar Palika Parishad, efforts are underway to change the appearance and ambience of the crematorium. Traditionally viewed as a sombre and unclean place, the crematorium in Etawah is being turned into a tourist attraction. A large statue of Lord Shiva, complete with a flowing waterfall, has been installed as part of this initiative.

Additionally, a spacious park has been created and large halls equipped with coolers and an air-conditioned room have been constructed to accommodate those accompanying funeral processions. The facility also includes lockers and newly built cottages, adding to its grandeur. Visitors are full of praise for the unique crematorium on the banks of the Yamuna River in Etawah.

The crematorium features spacious halls with marble flooring and steel chairs for seating. To provide comfort during the summer, coolers and fans are installed. There’s also an air-conditioned hall with black granite stone, adding a touch of luxury. Additionally, a locker facility is available where people can safely store their relatives’ ashes until they are ready for immersion at their convenience.

This crematorium features a sprawling green park filled with various types of trees and flowering plants. Rajasthani stone cottages are being constructed to provide seating for visitors. Vinay Mani Tripathi, Executive Officer of Etawah Nagar Palika, informed Local 18 that the crematorium in Etawah now includes an air-conditioned hall and coolers. Additionally, greenery and clean, cold water have been provided to help visitors feel more comfortable during their time there.

Resident Balram Kushwaha said that the cremation ground has been arranged in a way that allows people to find moments of happiness, even in a sorrowful atmosphere. Umesh Kushwaha, another resident, praised the efforts of the Nagar Palika Parishad, stating that the work being done to enhance the cremation ground’s appearance is truly commendable.
