NEA conducts periodic ash soil transfer at the Garden of Peace and the Garden of Serenity. As scattered ashes accumulate over time and the IAS lanes reach capacity, ash soil from the lanes at both the Garden of Peace and the Garden of Serenity will be respectfully transferred to a designated location within the Garden of Peace at Choa Chu Kang Cemetery. This ensures that the lanes remain available for continued use by members of the public.Only fine ashes are to be scattered at the gardens. For processing of cremated remains into fine ashes, you may visit the facilities:
