Consider these 4 things before choosing a columbarium

Image
As our world evolves and changes so has the rites and rituals we were once familiar with. This is especially so when it comes to interments. In the past, burials were considered the method of choice and deemed as a sign of filial piety. Today however, with Singapore’s limited land space, cremation has become the go-to, prevalent approach. Cremated ashes are typically placed into funerary urns. While some Singaporeans may prefer to have their funerary urns placed at altars in their homes, most of us would opt for columbarium niches instead.

There are several aspects to consider when choosing a suitable columbarium in Singapore.

Grave exhumation, or niche relocation, is the procedure of relocating or transferring the remains of one's ancestors/family members after they have been buried for many years or even months.  The desire to exhume or relocate the remains of a loved one can arise for a variety of circumstances, with the Mount Vernon and Tengah Airbase instances serving as just a couple of examples. It is planned to demolish Mount Vernon Columbarium (also known as MVC) in order to make way for the development of the Bidadari Estate.
