More About Choa Chu Kang Columbarium

A columbarium is a dedicated structure designed to house cremated remains in individual niches. With cremation becoming the preferred choice for many families due to land constraints, columbariums have become an essential part of Singapore’s memorial practices. They provide a centralised location for families to pay respects while ensuring the deceased is honoured in a dignified and well-maintained setting.

Government-managed columbariums in Singapore provide a more basic and public facility for housing cremated remains. These are typically more affordable and accessible, with standardised niches allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. While functional, they may lack personalisation options and the serene atmosphere found in private columbariums.
