Introduction

The Mandai North Crematorium is Singapore’s newest government-managed cremation facility,
built to handle the nation’s growing cremation needs efficiently and respectfully.
Officially opening on 15 August 2025, this modern complex provides a more comfortable,
eco-friendly, and technologically advanced setting for families saying their final farewells.
(NEA announcement)

Why the Government Expanded Cremation Capacity

Singapore’s ageing population and limited land resources have created increasing pressure on existing cremation facilities.
By 2040, the annual death count is projected to reach almost 40,000.
The original Mandai Crematorium and Columbarium Complex
already operates near capacity. To prevent delays and maintain dignity for every family, the
National Environment Agency (NEA)
developed this second site at Mandai North.

The project ensures smoother scheduling for local funeral services
and faster cremation arrangements during high-demand periods.

Location and Design

Situated at 30 Mandai Avenue, Singapore 778782, this crematorium spans about 2.4 hectares beside the existing Mandai complex.
It also houses the Garden of Serenity — Singapore’s inland ash-scattering garden — for families choosing eco-friendly remembrance.

The facility’s “green sanctuary” concept features lush landscaping, filtered daylight, and water features that promote peace and reflection.
This natural setting softens the emotional experience for families and makes every farewell more personal.

How the Facility Works

The crematorium uses automation and clean technology to streamline the process while maintaining full respect for cultural and religious customs.

• Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs): Coffins move seamlessly from service halls to cremation chambers.
• Service Halls & Viewing Galleries: Families can witness final rites in quiet, air-conditioned spaces.
• High-Efficiency Cremators: A total of 18 units planned, increasing national capacity significantly.
• Environmental Controls: Monitors regulate emissions to meet eco-standards.
• Integrated Ash Handling: Families can collect or scatter ashes immediately next door at the Garden of Serenity.

Convenience and Benefits

The new Mandai North facility brings families greater convenience and comfort:

• Shorter waiting times for cremation slots.
• Private halls designed for serenity and comfort.
• Direct access to the Garden of Serenity for immediate ash scattering.
• Ample parking and accessible layout for elderly visitors.
• Online bookings through NEA’s After-Death Services Portal.
