Migration after death - Bury our dead overseas?
The detail of this can be found in http://www.mutual-sharing.com
Frog A : There are many reasons for migration, I suppose one of the reasons here is due to our country is congested, shortage of land and most of us stay in high rise building instead of landed houses.
Frog B : It happens to the dead too. Cemetery will be gradually replaced by columbarium complex due to constraints of burial space…
Frog A : No worries, the dead can also be migrated too, to country with plenty of land…
Frog B : Yes, I remember! I have seen the advertisement before.
Frog A: It is a sensitive issue, I remember minister who was in charge of Health portfolio was clearly misunderstood by the people. It is true that it is cheaper to send elderly parents to nursing homes across the causeway.
Frog B: The same minister is no more in charge of Health portfolio but the National Development portfolio, and his job is related to housing now
Frog A: Oh, it is interesting!

An unusual advertisement appeared in the Straits Times: It offered burial plots in Melbourne, Australia. The Chinese cemetery in Melbourne, called Song He Yuan, is landscaped and decorated in “Tang dynasty” style.
The advantage of being buried at Song He Yuan is the burial plots are forever, unlike in Singapore where graves are exhumed after 15 years to make space for more burials.
