Exhumation Services In Singapore & Role of Environmental Health and Cemeteries Officer

The New Burial Policy, which Singapore's government enacted in 1998 to solve the country's land shortage, sets a 15-year limit on burials. Graves will be dug up after 15 years, and depending on one's religious requirements; the remains may be burned or reburied.

Nirvana Memorial Garden Services offers complete grave exhumation services in Singapore and take care of everything. If the families decide to have the remains cremated and preserve the ashes at the columbarium after the grave exhumation, Nirvana Memorial Garden offers a large selection of urns from which to select.

What is the Environmental Health and Cemeteries Officer do in terms of Decency and safety?


To maintain respect for the deceased and protect public health, an Environmental Health and Cemeteries Officer must be present at the exhumation and will oversee the procedure. Furthermore, the officer(s) will see to it that:

●    The right grave is opened,

●    The exhumation starts as early as possible to ensure maximum privacy,

●    The plot is screened for privacy, health and safety of all workers are maintained (for example, protective clothing,

●    including masks and gloves, task lights, and all other necessary equipment provided),

●    Everyone in attendance shows respect to the deceased and nearby graves, the nameplate on the casket matches that on the licence,

●    All human remains and casket components have been placed in the new casket, which has been properly sealed, the exhumation site has been cleaned properly, and adequate preparations have been made to transfer the remains to another location.

●    The Cemeteries Manager liaises with the grieving family to ensure their wishes are followed. All complete body exhumations are performed by an outside organisation skilled in this sector.
