AMC has inaugurated a gas-fired, eco-friendly crematorium dedicated exclusively to pet dogs at the CNCD ABC Centre in Behrampura, making it the first municipal-run pet dog crematorium in an urban area in Ahmedabad
The gas-fired cremator is equipped with primary and secondary chambers, ensuring that no foul odour is emitted during the cremation process and the system is smoke-free, odourless, colourless, and compliant with environmental standards. The cremation chamber measures roughly 4 ft × 3 ft × 3 ft and includes an automatic trolley mechanism that transfers the animal to the cremator without manual contact, along with a dedicated control panel.
To avail the cremation services, pet owners are required to report the death of a registered dog through AMC’s helpline or online portal supplying the pet’s registration details after which the corporation’s Antim Dham Jeev Seva Rath team assists with on-site rituals and transport to the crematorium. Owners who wish to be present at the crematorium may also do so.
Pet owners can access the service by reporting a death via the AMC helpline (155303) and providing registration details. Funeral arrangements, including ceremonial transport and documentation such as a death certificate and memorial message, are also provided. Owners may remain present during the cremation if they wish, and online registration or service donation options are available for unregistered pets.
