THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, INDIA, January 26, 2010: In Kerala, a tourist destination marketed as God’s own country, soon one’s journey to the hereafter could begin much before one passes away. People in Palakkad, concerned about whether or not their last rites would be carried out in proper religious fashion, now have the option of making an advance booking of their cremation rituals with the Aivar Madham Trust and die in peace.
To book your cremation, come in person to pay US$86, provide the necessary documents and you’re set. The package includes an ambulance service, a mobile mortuary if needed, the service of a priest versed in rituals, and, the chief attraction, a holy and traditional cremation on the banks of the Bharathappuzha river in Palakkad district. The applicant is then given a registration card that ensures he gets the desired cremation.
Ramesh Korappath, head of the Aivar Madham Development Trust, says, “Thousands of dead people are cremated here — about 50 every day. But the facilities are totally inadequate. We also hope to improve the amenities with the income.”
