I was contacted by a granddaughter filled with deep filial piety. Her beloved grandmother had recently passed away peacefully at the age of 94.

The family chose to scatter her ashes at Garden of Peace, a natural farewell without elaborate rituals, yet full of love and heartfelt remembrance.

What touched me the most was the granddaughter’s decision to set up an ancestral tablet for her grandmother at Nirvana Memorial Garden. She softly said, “Ah Ma always loved me dearly. I just want to visit her from time to time, talk to her, just like I used to.”

Though family members held different religious beliefs, everyone came together with mutual respect and understanding, allowing this remembrance to take root. The ancestral tablet became a bridge of love between the family and their late matriarch, a tangible symbol of deep longing.

At Nirvana Memorial Garden, an ancestral tablet is more than a tradition, it’s a sacred space where memories live on. Every stick of incense, every whispered word, is a quiet conversation with a loved one.

After the memorial ceremony, the granddaughter sent me a heartfelt thank-you letter. I’m grateful for the trust she placed in me. The ceremony was complete, and the blessing fulfilled.
