Death is one of the least talked about the topic between family members because it may sound embarrassing to anyone who can hear it. Nobody wants to die young, and everyone wishes to enjoy their lives but, discussing this kind of matter is not a good idea for all people. Everything in this world is temporary and preparing for death is a smart way to live. The hardest part of being a living creature is to experience passing away since it is a part of life so, choosing the best death care plan is the best choice to help your loved ones lessen their pain and confusion on how to handle your loss emotionally and financially when the time comes you will leave this world.

What is the Largest Cemetery in the Philippines?

Cemeteries are the final resting place where our deceased loved ones are laid to rest but behind the silent ambiance, some of the underprivileged families were forced to live alongside the dead for years because of poverty and lack of opportunities to afford to buy their own house. An example of the graveyard living inside the cemetery slums of Manila was one of the oldest and largest Cemetery in the Metropolis, The Manila North Cemetery. From the Largest Public cemetery in the Metro, we also have the largest developer of magnificent Memorial Parks in the Philippines, the Golden Haven Memorial Park has over 35 projects in 32 locations across the country.
