The first phase of redevelopment of a crematorium on E Moses Road in Worli is complete. A pair of doctor brothers driving the change at the crematorium stated in a recent report in this paper that they have the major funds for the R40-crore project, confident that they will make up a slight shortfall for the second phase, very soon.

The changemakers were driven by the fact that our facilities for families making that final journey with the dear departed are wanting in many aspects. From crumbling construction, peeling paint and simply no space for grieving relatives to sit, there is an urgent need for an upgrade for crematoria across the city.
