Storing Ashes in a Columbarium
Cremated ashes can be stored either at home or within a columbarium. If you choose the latter, we can help you book a niche at one of Singapore’s government-managed columbaria or a private columbarium based on your preference. Our funeral directors are on hand to guide you through this process and help secure the best option.
