The Vision

Connected to the existing chapel mausoleum, the new development features:

  • A grand piazza inspired by the Piazza San Pietro in Rome, complete with a central statue and patterned granite and cobblestone paving.

  • Beautifully landscaped gardens, intricate mosaic artworks, and shaded areas designed to create a peaceful space for reflection and remembrance.

  • Garden Crypts and Gallery Crypts, both facing the adjacent cemetery grounds to offer serene views.


Accessibility & Design

Accessibility is a key focus of this project. A new entrance from Railway Avenue and thoughtfully designed pathways will ensure smooth connections between the new and existing mausoleum buildings, as well as internal cemetery roads.
