Architecture

At the heart of the columbarium is the baptismal font in which Christians are inaugurated into the life, death and resurrection of Christ.

The columbarium with its unique octagon design features over 4000 burial niches with unique family chapels. At the centre of the columbarium, the life-giving waters of the baptismal font are illuminated as daylight pours through the waters of the font into the columbarium below. An atmosphere of reverence and dignity is further heightened with a series of stained glass windows.

The columbarium located within the community of St. Gianna’s parish ensures that burial is within the context of a living and praying community, as the beloved dead are perpetually remembered in the community’s prayer and worship.
