Even before the formation of Kerala, under the leadership of Shri Narayanan Vadhyar, the public cemetery known as Mokshakavadam, which operates under the ownership of SNDP branches in Thottam and Kamaleshwaram Vaduvothu, was established with Muttathara region as the center.

Earlier, the body was cremated using logs and bricks, but now, facilities have been made available to perform the entire process using only wood. Furthermore, facilities are now available here to conduct the funeral rites in an environmentally friendly manner, utilizing natural resources like air.
