Columbarium
-
Being the first privatised columbarium in Singapore to embrace both traditional Chinese culture and contemporary architecture elements, any suggest place?

How about asking National Environment Agency via their website http://www.nea.gov.sg, well, if you still can choose how you want to die i.e. you have a choice, these days the National Organ Transplant Unit can care less about whether columbaria are privatised, tradition, Chinese, cultural or contemporary, if you go and ask any Singaporean kid that is yet 21, they will tell you that unless you opt out, if you die prematurely they will harvest your organs and give it to somebody so that we can keep our hospitals, in other words before you die the Singapore Government already wants to recycle your corpse. When I was working with Health Promotion Board I had a user that calls in and asks questions more interesting than yours, he asks, where can I donate my corpse? I gotta reply, go National University of Singapore.
These days if you stay at any structured government hospital, they put at the wards a nice flyer that allows you to donate your entire corpse - last time they wanted your blood, they still want your blood today - now they want your whole corpse because they can cut it up and teach a few younger kids who are going through medical school.
NUS has one, NTU started one also. They need Singaporean corpses, sooner or later they will tell you we are short of columbaria because our resources are so scarce, even corpses are important.
:) So if anybody wants to be cremated properly and have a proper urn and resting place, have you asked NEA because if they say you must work till 67 as the retirement age gets raised, you are probably still too young to die naturally.
Don't think so much about death, if you have no use for your ashes, the future Singaporeans have even less use for yours.
If you need to think about death, make more babies instead, while no guarantee, at least you keep the young folks busy enough so that you can die in peace one night without worrying about your own casket, let the kids worry about your death, there's no need to exhaust yourself worrying about your own death because I guarantee you, you confirm will die, and nobody needs your ashes, much lesser your urn.
*Besides, there are market dynamics.*
