SHANTHIVANAM CREMATORIUM

After many years of deliberations with the municipality and other authorities our club finally took a decision to take over the crematorium project and build it to a monument, which will be remembered for generations to come. With the kind support and advice from our senior Rotarians, Rotary Mettupalayam Crematorium Trust (RMCT) was formed and registered on 12.8.2011 with Rtn. A. Somasundram as the Chairman,. Simultaneously on 26.8.2011 RMCT made an agreement with the Municipality to administer and maintain the crematorium for a period of ten years. The Municipality had
already provided the main building with the required Machines and more over the developments had to be put in place RMCT decided to appoint an architect to give suitable plan and design and Mr.Jayakumar was appointed and he gave us a wonderful plan and design, which you are currently witnessing.To Execute the Project enormous fund were required .The RMCT took out efforts to mobilize the funds which was very successful .The Rotarians and the public in around Mettupalayam were very generous in their contributions. Initially things were quite smooth and we thought the project
would be completed within six months. But unavoidably the compound wall had to be replaced which took a toll of almost all the funds collected at that time and proved to be a extra burden on us. We never lost heart and went on with the project. Apart from the main block, we added office block in the front and a very hygiene toilet at the rear side. We also constructed a stone bed and meditation Hall. We have also installed an Effluent Treatment plant to safe guard nature. The crematorium was inaugurated on 29-1-2013, and is currently catering to the needs of the community in and around Mettupalayam, We wish to Thank Hotel owners association for providing a back up generator worth 5 lakhs and thanks to Lorry owners association for providing a full fledged Mortuary van, Total project cost is around 2 crores, In 2020 the Crematorium which was a gas based unit and was converted into a very sophisticated LPG Unit at cost of INR 25 Lakhs
