By Benjamin Poon · Updated 2026-10-23 · 4 min readFor families in the east, two of the three venues Benjamin works with are on their side of the island: Lin San Temple at Lorong 12 Geylang and Thian Leng Chong Toh Tong at 472 Changi Road. Nirvana Memorial Garden is a memorial park in the north-west, on Old Choa Chu Kang Road. The right choice depends on distance, setting and what your family values.

Three questions to talk over as a family
- Who will visit most often, and where do they live?
- Would your parents prefer a temple with chanting and prayers, or a quieter park setting?
- Do you want a niche, an ancestral tablet, or both?
Why not simply choose the nearest?
Distance matters, but it is not everything. Some families want relatives from other parts of Singapore to visit easily too; others care most about the setting or the prayer sessions. Benjamin can lay out the options side by side so you can decide calmly.
