Land Burial

For most people, land burial has been the preferred approach for funeral arrangements, especially for the older generations and still remains a popular choice today. In this section we will give a detailed explanation of what to expect in a land burial.

What Can I Expect When Opting For Land Burial?

  1. Land burials are more costly as compared to cremation or sea burial as the land in Singapore is scarce
  2. According to NEA, land tenure for burial is a maximum of 15 years, after which they will be exhumed, cremated, and placed in a columbarium or conduct a sea burial
  3. Choa Chu Kang Cemetery Complex is the only cemetery that is still open for land burial

Where Is The Cemetery Located?

Choa Chu Kang Cemetery, 910 Choa Chu Kang Road, Singapore 699819

How Much Should I Expect To Pay For A Land Burial?

Aside from our services, land burial in a Christian Cemetery or Catholic Cemetery at Choa Chu Kang Cemetery Complex will cost $420 for a child under 10 years old and $940 for an adult, which this payment was made to the NEA.

What Is The Process Like?

  1. The pastor will give a sermon/conduct a prayer at the wake location before encoffining, after which the family and friends will be given the chance to pay their final respects
  2. Once everyone has paid their final respects, the hearse will depart for Choa Chu Kang Cemetery
  3. At the burial site, all the family members and friends will assemble for a prayer, hymns and offering of flowers before the casket is buried
