LONDON: Hinduism in the UK will get Hindu crematoriums built with their first goal with a large ceremony hall, two private ritual rooms, shower facilities, Kremang hall and separate canteen buildings after landmark decisions made to provide planning permission.
Planning Inspectorate on December 16 gave anoopam mission planning permission for the crematorium on the 15-hectare site near Denham, which allowed his appeal to the Buckinghamshire Board, which had refused planning permission on September 4, 2020, stating that it was “inappropriate development.
In the belt Green, which will break in the countryside “.
The proposed crematorium will be located on the Hindu temple in the center of the spiritual community and the Spiritual Shree Swaminarayan community and will be able to meet up to 500 participants.
In his letter to the Board of Buckinghamshire, when creating an original application, Satish Chatwani, Anoopam International President of Anoopam Mission UK, wrote that “Hindu experience” was missing the funeral in other Krematia in England.
The letter explained how death was one of the Hindu Samsakaras (Rite) a Hindu and that even though the electrical cremator could replace the tradition of burning the body on pyre wood, it was a ceremony and ritual that surrounded the cremation of a Hindu who made a Hindu funeral.
“The funeral is provided throughout the country for the Muslim and Jewish communities to bury and respect their dead because they have their beliefs; that there is no such provision for Hindus to carry out this last faith action is the betrayal of our rights and our contributions.
For the community English, “he wrote.
Non-Hindu crematorium services in the UK are much shorter than those needed by Hindus, the crematoriums often cannot accommodate large amounts attending Hindu funerals; The slot cannot be found in a short period of time after the death needed by Hindus, there is no special space for pre-ceremonial rituals such as opening the coffins and carrying out Aarti and Pradakshina.
Also there are no shower facilities or dining facilities.
Thus, Hindus must use several places: houses, funeral rooms, crematoriums and temples, separating the ceremony.
