As a modern facility meant to accommodate funerary events, the Mandai Crematorium and Columbarium is sensitively designed to provide a dignified environment for visitors. With an open concept that weaves together different landscape and architectural elements for a peaceful environment, the Crematorium gently lifts the air of sombreness through constant contact with earth and sky.
Inside the service halls, high ceilings and skylight creates a feeling of spaciousness and calm. Outside, landscape and water features provide visual and emotional relief for the bereaved and lend an air of contemplation to the Crematorium's grounds. The Crematorium is built to accommodate four services every hour, with up to 110 people attending each service, the service halls, lounge area, viewing galleries and the departure foyers are spacious enough to handle the large crowds. The complex is designed to ensure a one-way flow of human traffic to avoid confusion amongst the different crowds in attendance.
The Columbarium complex comprises 6 four-storey blocks, with the capacity to accommodate approximately 77,000 niches. A total of 365 parking lots were also marked out for the entire facility, of which 95 are located in the basement for the crematorium.
Surrounding lush landscape provides a pleasant and peaceful backdrop while weaving the various blocks together.
