Request for Open Sky Cremation in accordance with Hindu Religion

Petition Details

Currently, cremations take place in enclosed structures, such as crematoriums, I respectfully urge you to consider making provisions for open-air cremation sites where individuals like myself can have their last rites conducted in a manner that respects our religious and spiritual beliefs.

Additional Information

I kindly request that your ministry review current policies and explore the possibility of establishing designated open-air cremation sites for those who wish to follow this sacred tradition. I would be grateful for an opportunity to discuss this matter further and to work collaboratively toward a solution that respects religious freedoms while maintaining public and environmental safety.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

It is already legal for open-air cremations to take place, and it is for individual crematoria to meet the required legal standards in order to carry them out.
