Mobile Crematorium

Finding a piece of land for cremation has always been a problem in Kerala. Proposing a solution to this, the High Tech Seals Pvt Ltd, which also produces automotive parts, plans to introduce a mobile crematorium fuelled by liquid petroleum gas (LPG) here on the outskirts of Kochi.

"It was the controversies associated with cremation or burial and the issue of pollution that made us think about such a crematorium," said John Thomas, the managing director of the company.

The company proposes to mount the crematorium on a vehicle that can be moved to any location.

Although the company went ahead with the project two years ago, it was forced to go slow on the work.

"We started the work on the mobile crematorium alright, but had to slow down as there were some technical problems," said John.

The company, however, is successful with its non-mobile LPG crematoriums. These units have facilities to prevent pollution or odour from cremation.

So far the company has successfully installed 10 units in various municipalities in Kerala. Read more...................Kerala to have mobile crematorium
