The City Government of Muntinlupa is set to construct a public crematorium, columbarium, and viewing chapel in the Muntinlupa City Public Cemetery for indigent residents.
Muntinlupa Mayor Jaime Fresnedi recently led the groundbreaking ceremony for the three-story columbarium worth P39.7 million together with other local officials.
A viewing chapel and crematorium will also be constructed in the 6,705 sq.m facility.
Initially, the columbarium will have at least 7,200 slots. Fresnedi said the columbarium will improve the burial assistance of the local government.
The project aims to provide an opportunity for indigent Muntinlupa residents to have a decent burial for their dead, the mayor added.
Fresnedi noted that the City Government’s thrust is to deliver services from “womb to tomb” as public programs address concerns from infancy to death.
