This complex is one of the final resting places for many Singaporeans because of the new technology and limited spaces to host cemeteries for the dead.

The Government chose a plot of land at Mandai to build Singapore's second crematorium.

Shortly after its opening, it was designated to cremate exhumed remains from closed down cemeteries in Singapore.

The columbarium was also expanded to include remains displaced from the closure of Mount Vernon Crematorium as well.

To meet the growing demand of the island's population, the Government decided to expand the crematorium further.
