Thinking out of the box on columbarium project

#Memorialexperts

The many types of columbary arrangement make us keenly aware of how dumb we have been on thinking of new ways on how to lay out plan design columbary projects.  There are so many variations and we simply thought of boxes and squares.   Of lines and rows.  Now there are columns, there are plant boxes.  Oh so many variations and they could be so nice

We need to research more and be creative.

#Offshore/floatingcemetery? Is it feasible?

#Memorialexperts

From Archiscene

I would like to think this is possible only for dry type of interments like bone and ash crypts.   This would not take off from any municipality if this were the wet or body crypt type.  What do you think?

This idea is being broached in Hong Kong where land is scarce and burial costs are going up.  The proposal addresses many concern, especially the ideal burial place.

The article traces the evolution of burial grounds up to multi level columbary and the problems associated with each stage of development especially for HK.

Great idea?  Will this take off?

Columbarium of ash crypts need not be mindless boring rows of crypts.  They can be made to look beautiful and tasteful.  Here are some we picked from Google images:

We would like our BC to look like these:

#Memorialexperts

We would like that our BC covers look like this:  This may need a metal frame of flat bar, plus nut and bolt  (chromed or brass) so that they will not move.  The 1 x 1 meter by 1/2 inch will not move.  This will have nice and clean appearance

Libingan ng Bayan Columbarium?

#Memorial experts




Our Calamba CMO visited the Vice Mayor of Calamba regarding help desk for those who are destitute and have no interment funds; and funeral assistance by the local govt.

It came to my mind that Mayor Ben Hur Abalos has a such a "Libingan ng Bayan" concept.  

Mandaluyong Libingan ng bayan from Inquirer

From Citiscope - Mandaluyong Garden of Life Columbarium

They have a 3 storey columbarium for the poor, 9 levels for each floor and the deal is:

     P4t for bone cremation

     P8t for body cremation

     urn is P1t to 2t

     They rent the ash crypt for P100 a month.

Could we:

Offer a portion of the steep portion for such a project say 2,000 sm

We ask 50% subsidy grant from munisipyo to build this, or tax credit:

We earn on:

1.  Ash crypt rental  (that is 100 per month.   For 20 years that is P24,000 per urn;

2.  On the urn sales

3.  We are able to help the poor (more pogi points from the Lord)

4.  Strengthen the relationship with the LGU.

This fits GSIS SSS budget of P20,000 funeral benefits.
