The Last Journey organization is planning to make this crematorium on a Build-operate-transfer (BOT) basis. The authority will lease the required land to the organization for 10-11 years, which will build, operate and maintain the crematorium. In this crematorium, arrangements will be made for the last rites by all three methods- wood, CNG, and electric. The facility of a corpse vehicle and freezer will also be provided for the public. There will also be an air-conditioned common hall for prayer meetings for the bereaved family. A memorial park will also be built in this, where people will be able to plant saplings in the memory of their loved ones. A waiting room will also be built as part of the plan. CEO Narendra Bhushan has asked for a formal proposal soon. The joint team of Authority and Last Journey Organization will soon inspect the spot and following which the blueprints of the plan would be drawn.
