Even though, there is not much difference in the no. of deaths registered in 2020 and 2019, it is observed that due to global pandemic Covid 19 in 2020, a good number of deaths have been going unregistered, which also had resulted in a crisis of cremation spaces in the urban context. This crisis of space has led to us to question as in Why no. of spaces required in the urban context is not fulfilling what is already existing? To understand this, point further, a study was conducted to figure out the bye laws and norms required for crematorium design. It has been observed that there are no properly framed bye laws or regulations for crematorium design in the urban context. There are documents stating the norms for establishment of crematoriums along the Holy Ganga River but that doesn’t cater to the needs of Yamuna River and crematoriums along the Yamuna River in Delhi NCR.
