Celebrating Life In Style | Christ The Redeemer Columbarium Complex In Bacolod

Living, Loving, Celebrating Life in Style with Teresa Development Corporation

My family means the world to me. They are my purpose for living, my inspiration, and the source of my strength and happiness. For sure, this is the sentiment of everyone else. I can only imagine how devastating it is to lose a loved one. That’s why it’s only right that if someone dies, he should be given a burial and funeral befitting a respectable person. Celebrating life in style is what we should do while we’re still alive but celebrating the life of a dearly departed loved one is something that we should also do.

Funeral Pre-Planning

Without a doubt, dying is one of the few events in life that is certain to occur. Yet it is still something you should plan for – if not for your own peace-of-mind, then for the well-being of those you’ll leave behind. By funeral preplanning, it means taking care of funeral service details in advance before the time of need arises. It is basically up to you whether you want a simple or a detailed preplanning.

There are almost more benefits to setting up your own funeral preparations than we can count. Here are just a few:

Cremation & Its Benefits

Nowadays, more families are choosing to bury their kin through cremation and eventually have them laid to rest in a columbarium, a place for the respectful and usually public storage of mortuary urns. It’s already popular in countries like Nepal, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, just to name a few, and is gaining popularity here in the Philippines.

When it comes to cremation, it’s not always about cost. For some families, there are a lot of reasons why they would choose cremation over traditional burials.

Here are but a few:

• It allows families more time to plan a memorial service. Cremation takes away any time constraints that a burial might have. That extra time allows for a no-rush approach to planning a service.

• One of the main reasons a family chooses cremation is because of the near endless customization it brings. Families can choose to remember their loved one in a way that’s fitting to them.

• With cremation, families aren’t tied down to a specific cemetery or location. They can scatter the ashes or bring the urn containing their loved one with them when they move.

• It’s a more eco-friendly option because no land will be used. Instead, ashes are safely stored in urns, which in turn are placed in the vault of the columbarium.

• Religion has gotten more relaxed about cremation. While historically many religions like Catholicism or Judaism have opposed cremation, they’ve changed their mind in recent years. Some church-owned cemeteries have even started offering new columbariums to store the ashes of the deceased.

• If you’re on a budget, cremation is the way to go because it’s cheaper than the usual process. Instead of buying coffins, you can instead buy urns and choose among different sizes, designs, and materials according to your specifications.

Christ The Redeemer Columbarium Complex

Nowadays, cremation is becoming a more popular funeral or post-funeral rite and as an alternative to the burial of an intact dead body. Being laid to rest in a columbarium, a place for the respectful and usually public storage of cinerary urns, is what is slowly becoming the norm. The term comes from the Latin “columba” (dove) and, originally, solely referred to compartmentalized housing for doves and pigeons called a dovecote.

The Christ the Redeemer Columbarium Complex in Bacolod City is expected to open in October 2020. This is according to Mona Matti, the TDC vice president for sales. The construction of the columbarium complex is expected to be completed in June or July of next year, she added.

The new facility inside the Rose Lawns Memorial Park in Barangay Bata, Bacolod City, has a cluster of niches with individual vaults that can secure six standard-sized urns. It has a total land area of 2 hectares and will have viewing chapels, reception halls, restaurant, and lobby among others.

Here are the key features of Christ The Redeemer Columbarium Complex:

• Christ the Redeemer Columbarium Complex has the Family Suite which has a family room, comfort room, and kitchenette. It also has a nice view of the garden and park. Small kids can stay in the family room if they want to play or if they feel like napping.

• The Pool of Providence, a fountain-like structure found within the complex, has a calming effect because of the sounds of the water. It also gives the columbarium an elegant look.

• It has multi-purpose hall which can serve as a reception hall and can be used for mass and viewing of the remains.

• The Amethyst is where the vault is located and where the urns are placed. It’s covered with a clear face plate and holds up to six standard-sized urns.
