An entrepreneur Valikhan Sabilov deems that the crematorium services will be of high demand in the capital. Taking into account capital's population growth and climate features the traditional way of burying becomes difficult. According to the businessman's words the service for cremation of deceased should be in every major city. Sabilov said that cremation is a very lucrative business. On the other hand, it is quite difficult to start, because it requires a lot of approval documentation from the authorities. Even if we have the crematorium on the outskirts of the city, we will do everything to refine the territory. We plan to have a garden and a workshop for manufacturing ash boxes. Astana crematorium will be not just a place where dead bodies are burnt, but a kind of center of applied arts and high technology.
