The NEA exhumation notice is an official document or public announcement issued by the National Environment Agency. It informs families that certain graves are due for exhumation, typically due to the expiration of the 15-year burial period.
The NEA Exhumation Notice Will Include:
- The grave’s location (e.g., Choa Chu Kang Block XYZ, Plot ABC)
- Notification period
- Deadline for claiming the remains
- Instructions for family action
- Contact information and website link
If your family member is buried in a public cemetery, especially at Choa Chu Kang or Lim Chu Kang, and it has been over 15 years, it’s important to monitor for NEA exhumation notices in newspapers, NEA’s website, or mail (if you are listed as next-of-kin).
Choa Chu Kang or Lim Chu Kang Cemetery Exhumation
The Choa Chu Kang Cemetery Complex is Singapore’s only active public cemetery and is home to different sections for Buddhist, Taoist, Christian, Muslim, and Hindu burials. Most public grave exhumations occur here as part of NEA’s phased land development plan.
