About Block A Columbarium

Importance of Feng Shui in Columbarium

When selecting a columbarium, Local Fengshui Grand Master, Tan Khoon Yong, said: “The direction and the location, as well as the management and maintenance of the columbarium are very important. A location with more yin energy will benefit both the deceased and the descendants.”
Geomancy elements of a burial site or niche are very important, because these elements are said to affect the fortunes of the person’s descendants for generations. As a good formation will bring blessing for the descendants.

In 2011, 10 International fengshui masters visited Nirvana Singapore and were impressed by how fengshui elements have been incorporated in all aspects at Nirvana to ensure that the deceased are respected, while the living who visit feel at ease.

Nirvana Memorial Garden as a whole has a very good fengshui formation as it sits in the north and faces the south. Because its buildings are round in shape, anyone can find a suitable niche within from among the ‘24 orientations’ available.

Lease Period

In Singapore, many temples offer columbarium niches for housing cremation urns. When purchasing a niche, it is important to understand on the lease period, which can vary significantly.

There are two main types of lease periods:

Purchase-Based Lease Period: The lease period begins when the niche is purchased.
Temple Lease-Based Period: The lease period is tied to the temple’s lease, expiring at a specific year.

Lease periods typically range from 30 years, 40 years, 60 years, 99 years, with some being freehold.

Nirvana Memorial Garden offers a lease period extending until the year 2098, providing long-term peace of mind and stability for your loved ones’ final resting place.

Maintenance Fee

In some temple columbarium, there is a requirement for monthly or annual maintenance fees.

At Nirvana Memorial Garden, there is no annual management fee, only the initial 1-time maintenance fee made upon the purchase the columbarium niche. This provides a hassle-free experience for families.

Environment

A comfortable environment is essential to encourage family and relatives to visit their deceased loved ones more frequently. By integrating five-star elements such as air-conditioning, café (coming soon), resting lounges (more coming soon), memorial parlours (coming soon), beautiful interior design and comfortable furnishings in columbaria, Nirvana includes prioritizing visitor comfort on top of maintaining traditional values in paying respects to those gone before. Regardless of beliefs and spirituality.

Ji-Ling Services

After cremation, the remains will be interred in the temple’s columbarium niche. The family has the option to continue their prayers to the deceased at the temple Ji Ling Hall (祭灵) or do the praying at home, this lasting for 49 days. It is important to find out if the temple offer such Ji-Ling services and how much is the cost.

Nirvana Memorial Garden, for instance, has a special room for Ji-Ling services lasting for 49 days. This service is complimentary for customers who purchase a columbarium niche from Nirvana Memorial Garden.
