Ambernath: After a delay of over one and a half years, the much-awaited eco-friendly crematorium project in Ambernath has finally commenced operations on June 10, 2025. The reopening of this facility, which had remained non-functional for an extended period, has brought significant relief to the city’s residents, who previously struggled with limited and costly cremation services.
Local resident Vikas Ingle brought the issue to light in a conversation with "The Perfect Voice" highlighting administrative negligence that stalled the project. Following his complaints and the subsequent media coverage, the Ambernath Municipal Council sprang into action, ensuring the crematorium’s timely launch.
Notably, the crematorium services are now being offered completely free of charge, eliminating the financial burden that many families faced during funeral arrangements. This environmentally friendly initiative marks a positive shift in the city’s approach to end-of-life rituals and promotes sustainable practices in cremation.
The proactive response from the authorities after public exposure has restored citizen confidence in local governance, raising hopes for increased attention to crucial social services in the future. Residents have warmly welcomed the decision, expressing optimism that the new facility will enhance transparency and convenience in the city’s funeral services.
The news of the crematorium’s reopening first surfaced on June 8, 2025, through "The Perfect Voice" which triggered the administration’s swift action. By June 10, the Ambernath Municipal Council officially opened the eco-friendly crematorium to the public.
