Developer designs memorial park to lift spirituality
A memorial park developer is trying to set a trend by adding spiritual value to its project located in the outskirts of Cebu City.
Golden Haven Memorial Park Inc. (GHMPI) president Michael Regino said its Garden Plaza project in Binaliw, Talamban will feature statues of saints, which are meant to provide peace of mind to people whose loved ones are laid to rest there.
A subsidiary of the M.B. Villar group of companies, GHMPI launched the “Garden Plaza” concept last Saturday.
The Garden Plaza is a 120-square-meter interment lot with a statue of a saint at the center. The company plans to initially develop three Garden Plazas with the statues of St. Peter, St. John and St. James.
Interment lots at the Garden Plaza are also cost-efficient.
Regino said buyers of a unit, which has a lot size of 30 square meters each, at the Garden Plaza can save on the cost of memorial lots because there is no limit on the number of corpses or bones that a family can bury there. Such unit costs P900,000.
“One unit at the Garden Plaza allows a maximum interment of four bodies, four sets of bones and four urns. We set no limits. It would be up to the owners (how they would go about the arrangement of their loved ones),” he told Sun.Star Cebu.
Regino said GHMPI would develop more Garden Plazas in the first phase, which covers seven hectares of the company’s 44-hectare memorial park project in Binaliw 1.
He said the company is inspired by enthusiasm of people who have seen the place.
“Some 80 percent of them buy after the tripping (site visit),” he said.
GHMPI’s other products are the lawn lot, garden terrace and the 30-square-meter family estate. (JBN)
