Notable Conditions:

Burial plots are only leased for a period of 15 years, thereafter the remains will be exhumed, and if permitted cremated, or if not permitted, reburied in a smaller plot of land.

Only Singaporeans and PRs can be buried, with the following exception: if the deceased is not a Singaporean or PR, their immediate next-of-kin, which only includes parents, children or spouse, has to be either a Singaporean or PR for the deceased to be buried. It would also cost more, as the table above reflects.

Burial plots will be allotted in sequential order.
