You really have no control over death. But the residents of Palakkad district in Kerala have a unique facility to decide on the manner of their cremation. The trust governing the ancient cremation ground Aivar Madham has introduced an advance booking facility. For Rs 4,000, you get an ambulance service, mobile mortuary, the service of a priest and a traditional cremation. But there’s no online booking. Those who wish to make an advance booking must line up in person at the trust’s office with photographs and documents such as the final will.
