The only crematorium in Gelephu, located in Sershong, is in bad condition. The people have no option but to use it. It has not been maintained for about eight years now. And nobody takes the responsibility to maintain the crematorium.

It was constructed in 1979. Our reporter, Pema Samdrup, says roofs are damaged, wooden beams and ceiling are on the verge of collapse. Sometimes the funeral ceremonies are disrupted by dripping rain water from the roof.

To make the matter worse, the place is littered with all kinds of waste.

The remains from the funeral pyres are just carelessly dumped beside the crematorium. The cloth pieces used for covering dead bodies and coffins are dumped along the Moa River.

Most people say that they don’t know who is responsible to clean or maintain the place. Once the purpose is served, nobody cares to clean the area.
