The National Environment Agency previously announced in 2021 that Singapore will be opening its first ash scattering garden in the country.
The Garden of Peace started operating on 17 May 2021, and allows for more options to manage the ashes of cremated loved ones.
The Garden has since had more than 1,900 applications for its services, as of 13 September this year.
The Garden of Peace is the first of its kind in Singapore and is located within the Choa Chu Kang cemetery complex.
NEA also said that they are expecting to launch a second garden this year, called the Garden of Serenity, which also offers ash scattering services.
The Garden of Serenity will be located at the new Mandai Crematorium COmplex and will include 3 ceremony halls as well as 9 cremation furnaces.
The concept for both gardens are open, and include walkways that are designated for scattering of ashes, where families can gather and take part in the ash scattering process respectfully.
Interested parties can submit applications through NEA’s website here.
