Called Aathma Modern Crematorium, it is a result of public-private partnership.
Two-thirds of the plot came as donation from the Rotary Club of Erode Central.
The club will manage the crematorium complex, which has an honour hall, two meditation halls, two crematoriums (one is ready for use at present), facilities for bathing, tonsure of heads, etc.

my thoughts:
the wait and the anxiety to complete the crematorum is about to be over.....
the paving of the entire site will be using 'green concepts', tiles with well designed holes that will provide scope for water percolation, pebbles, flowery plants spread all over the site
the flowersthrown all over the site along with pavement ,natural green mounds and the silent monuments for the dead on the banks of cauvery create a good setting for parting....
9 th november is the inauguration date,,then it becomes the property of the erode public
