After Death

NEA-Managed Columbaria

NEA manages three columbaria at Choa Chu Kang, Mandai, and Yishun. Niches at Choa Chu Kang Columbarium and Mandai Columbarium are currently available for booking for the storage of cremated ashes. NEA will also provide a free allocated standard niche at any of the two government columbaria for each claimed grave that is exhumed under its exhumation programme. Members of the public are also welcome to visit the Yishun Columbarium.

Next-of-kin are to only engage contractors registered under NEA to carry out niche plaque related works, in NEA-managed facilities. 

More information on the booking of niches at Choa Chu Kang Columbarium and Mandai Columbarium can be found here.


Choa Chu Kang Columbarium

Located within the Choa Chu Kang Cemetery Complex, the Choa Chu Kang Columbarium houses approximately 147,000 niches across 18 four-storey blocks. The columbarium is serene and beautifully landscaped. The columbarium is equipped with amenities for the elderly and disabled.

The buildings are arranged to allow for ample ventilation and natural light. The compound is designed to resemble a park—blocks of niches are named after flowers, and the lush scenery is peaceful and soothing feel.
