Nirvana Memorial Garden Columbarium
Air-conditioned columbarium suites in Choa Chu Kang, from the Standard Suite to the Maisonette and Family Suites. There is a niche for every family.
A columbarium is a building of niches where families keep the urns of loved ones after cremation. At Nirvana Memorial Garden Singapore, the niches sit in air-conditioned suites at 950 Old Choa Chu Kang Road, so families can visit in comfort.
What Is a Columbarium?
Faiths such as Buddhism and Hinduism cremate the body of the deceased. To keep the ashes with honour and dignity, many families choose a columbarium: a structure of niches that hold the urns, and a final resting place the family can return to.
The word comes from the Latin “columba”, meaning dove, because the niches resemble a dovecote. Ancient Rome kept urns in the same way, and the idea has since spread around the world.
Why Keep the Urn in a Columbarium?
Some families keep the urn at home, but it can be a daily reminder of grief, and the urn may not be safe there. Others do not feel comfortable scattering the ashes. A columbarium keeps the urn safe and gives the family a place to visit, pray and pay tribute. Read more on keeping an urn at home.
Benefits of a Columbarium

- More cost-efficient than a casket and a burial plot.
- Kinder to the environment, as it saves space on the ground.
- A permanent place to remember your loved one.
Besides columbarium niches, Nirvana Memorial Garden Singapore also offers ancestral pedestals.
