SINGAPORE – Singapore’s largest funeral parlour, began operations on Saturday in Woodlands, as the Republic prepares to meet an anticipated rise in demand for after-death facilities and services.
The nine-storey Woodlands Memorial complex, located in Woodlands Industrial Park, features 14 non-denominational halls of varying sizes that can accommodate groups ranging from 60 people to a maximum of 1,000 when the halls are combined.
Besides three floors dedicated to funeral parlours, and another two to a columbarium, it also features three floors of multi-storey carparks with over 170 parking spaces.
Additionally, an air-conditioned columbarium in a garden is set to be part of the complex in June 2023.
Woodlands Memorial is the first of four funeral parlour complex sites that the agency will roll out over the next decade to cope with the ageing population, and as Singapore prepares for an expected increase in resident deaths in the near future.
Mr Ben How, Woodlands Memorial’s general manager, noted that the number of deaths in Singapore is projected to grow – from 22,000 annually in 2020 to about 40,000 in 2040.
