‘No sanctity or peace about cremation, it’s all about money’
A politician’s relative died on Friday and the street outside the Amberpet crematorium got filled with wailing family members. The family members hugged and cried as the traffic flowed normally on the main road.
Many families are not so lucky as the funerals are becoming chaotic affairs as cremation workers race to clean up spaces for the stream of bodies. But first the families have to bargain. Cremations which used to cost ₹22,000 now cost ₹30,000.

Family members at a loss as crematoriums do not take bodies after 6 p.m.; hospitals asking them to take the bodies as they cannot keep them beyond a certain period
Amount spent for hiring ambulance, and freezer for one night
An activist said that he had spent ₹32,000 to preserve the body of a 53-year-old man who died of COVID. The amount was spent for hiring an ambulance and a freezer for one night.
After the COVID patient died at around 9 p.m. on Thursday, a private hospital at Chaitanyapuri had pressurised the family members to take the body since they do not have a mortuary.
Left with no option, they contacted the NGO, ‘Feed The Needy’, which has resumed providing the last ride to the dead.
Member of the organisation, Sai Teja Katragadda, said that since crematoriums do not take bodies after 6 p.m., they had to arrange a freezer. But the body in the freezer could not be taken home or kept out in the open at any place.
