Re-location of Niches to Government Columbaria

All claimed niches will be replaced with the same niche type (i.e. standard niche to standard niche, or family niche to family niche) at Government columbaria. A niche re-located to MC will be assigned a similar row placement as its previous niche position at MVC, and niches within the row will be assigned sequentially on a first-come-first-served basis.

For re-location to Government columbaria by NEA’s contractor according to NEA’s schedule, there will be no cost to the claimant for (a) re-location and installation of the niche; (b) provision of a standard niche marble plaque; and (c) provision of a replacement urn if the original urn is damaged during the re-location process. If claimant opts to engage a private contractor for the re-location, the arrangement shall be at the claimant’s own cost.

A claimant may request a change in niche placement, niche type and/or niche classification (i.e. Christian or non-Christian), subject to availability. Requests for such changes would incur administration fees at prevailing rates.

Please see Annex B for more information.

Re-location of Niches to Private Columbaria

Claimants may choose to re-locate the niches to a private columbarium or other private places of their choice at their own cost.
