The Last Rites of Passage: Choa Chu Kang Cemetery & Columbarium
Take a rare journey into Singapore’s last remaining burial grounds, where rituals, faith, and culture intersect. Guided by heritage specialist Diana Chua, we’ll explore how Chinese, Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, and other communities honour their dead through festivals, offerings, and customs.
Alongside symbolic headstones and columbaria niches, this thought-provoking experience unveils the meaning behind funeral traditions and ritual objects.
The tour concludes at the Thow Kwang Pottery Jungle, home to Singapore’s oldest surviving dragon kiln, where ancestral ceramics connect past and present. This tour offers a profound insight into Singapore’s multicultural heritage and spiritual life – don’t miss out.
