How to Find a Grave After Exhumation in Singapore

Based on the exhumed blocks currently listed by Kubur Search, Muslim cemetery exhumation phases have affected blocks with burial years from 1973 through 2009. This does not mean every grave from those years is definitely exhumed, but if the grave is from an older burial year or an affected block, check the exhumed blocks page and confirm the latest location with NEA.

For exhumed graves, NEA is the authority that manages official exhumation and relocation records. If you need to know where a loved one was relocated after exhumation, call the Choa Chu Kang Cemetery Office and prepare the old grave details if you have them.

Kubur Search is useful for checking whether a block has been exhumed, searching records already in our database, and helping families understand the next practical steps. We do not replace NEA as the official source for the latest post-exhumation location.

Prepare the deceased name, old cemetery, old block or plot number, approximate year of burial, date of death if known, and any old photos or documents from the family.

If you only know part of the information, still call and explain what you have. The more details you can give, the easier it is for the office to check the correct record.

If the grave is already in Kubur Search, you may be able to search by name, block, or plot and open the grave detail page. If the location is old or affected by exhumation, use our exhumed blocks list first so you know whether NEA should be your next step.

After NEA confirms the new location, Kubur Search can help with dapur kubur, grave cleaning, nisan replacement, repair work, or ziarah planning at the correct site.
