The Phoenix Group had initially successfully developed the Whisper Valley Crematorium in Shaikpet. On the orders of Telangana municipal administration minister KT Rama Rao (KTR), work on the crematorium in the sprawling Panjagutta graveyard began.

The Panjagutta graveyard covers 66 acres and was in desperate need of modernization in order to provide better facilities. There are currently nine platforms, washrooms, and 30 lockers for storing ashes. There is also a transport service for bodies to the crematorium.
