(Eco Memorial Park and Vertical Cemetery)


INTRODUCTION/ BACKGROUND

• With the growth of our population and the growing development of the city,
we are already faced with the problem of scarcity of available land. In order to
save on land use, it is necessary to use tall buildings or vertical building to
address the problem of rapid land depletion due to urban expansion. This could
be the alternative thinking to increase the amount without necessarily occupying
good available land in cities.
• The number of our population here in the Pampanga is increasing and the
number of deaths is also increasing especially now that we are facing a
spreading virus disease that one of the reason for the rapid increase the number
of deaths and even more crowded than our cities is our urban cemeteries
• Cemeteries have been an important part of culture and society since the
beginning of human history. Cemeteries have evolved to meet the changing
needs of the communities they serve with respect to the care provided to those
individuals buried within the cemetery grounds, and the comfort offered to
visitors and mourners.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

• As the human population continues to grow and the city continues to


expand today we are faced with the problem of scarcity of vacant lands
and flooding in crowded cities, traditional burial methods are a huge
waste of space in land.cemeteries are becoming overcrowded and there is
not enough parking area for people visiting their deceased relatives, and
when Undas or All Saints Day comes, it may rain, so people can get wet,
and all the candles they light die because they are in the open area
ARCHITECTURAL THESIS GOAL

• The primary goal of this thesis is to meet all the needs of a memorial
cemetery and give a new look or face through a vertical design building
that will provide comfort when they visit the cemetery and more
effectively maximize the land and lower the cost of burials.
Objectives and Strategy

• To plan and design a sustainable and accessible for all, specially for the
person with disability

Strategy 1. Using of technologies that recycles rainwater and solar heat for
the usage of water and electricity

Strategy 2. To apply the HLURB Rules & Regulation for Memorial park and
cemeteries, all cemetery plans should be accessible for PWD and in full
compliance with BP 344.

Strategy 3. Elevate the non-vertical burial to prevent the problem of flooding

Strategy 4. Apply a sufficient number of parking lot for the visitor


Objectives and Strategy

• To make specific urgent recommendation to address the lack of grave


spots

Strategy 1. Putting a lot of burial for vertical building

Strategy 2. Maximize the land without sacrificing the traditional open


memorial park
SCOPE OF THE STUDY

• The study of this proposed project was formulated through the problems of magalang
and its people to have a better memorial cemeteries. The proposal has been completed
and made by figuring the major problem and needs of the visitor to the cemetery.
• The scope of the proposed project will be based on how the suggested developments
will support and solve the existing conditions of the intended area. In order to
accomplish the project goal as a vertical cemetery in the city, the study will use
architectural based concerns.

• The thesis proponents have these structures that will be suitable for the needs and
setting of the site such as:

Non-Verticality- The Memorial Park type of cemetery features lawn-level memorials in


order to make the cemetery look and feel like a garden or a park.. The use of lawn-level
granite or bronze memorials allows for easier care, more natural beauty, and typically has
lower costs.
Wall Burial- In this plan, dead bodies are placed into a shelter/drawer like a
morgue. In this type of burial the shortage of grave plots can be better
addressed

Floor burial- in this type of burial is for those who can avoid the earth as one
and only earth to bury. Veteran, important figure or rich people can be slotted
in this typology since it is both more private and highly maintained

Columbarium – As cremation becomes today’s trend because of the covid 19


disease, house for the stored ashes have turn into a realistic and constant
saving space for concept demand.

Sky burial – is located at the roof top of the building. Visitors can see a
beautiful view of the landscape of the site.
PRESENT CONDITION

• According to Philippine Statistic Authority (PSA) in 2020, number of deaths


for Philippines was 655.26 thousand cases. Number of deaths of
Philippines increased from 293.3 thousand cases in 1971 to 655.26
thousand cases in 2020 growing at an average annual rate of 1.66%
• Reported deaths in 2018 reached 590,709, an increase of 2.0 percent from the previous
year’s 579,237 deaths. This is equivalent to a crude death rate (CDR) of 5.6, or about six (6)
persons per thousand population. In 2018, an average of 1,618 persons died daily. This
translates to 67 deaths per hour or one (1) per minute.
• The top three regions in terms of number of deaths by usual residence were found in Luzon:
CALABARZON with 85,816 or 14.5 percent, followed by NCR with 74,934 or 12.7 percent, then
Central Luzon with 70,706 or 12.0 percent. The combined share of these three regions was
39.2 percent of the total deaths.

UNDAS STUDY

• Undas refers to the observance of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day in the Philippines where
millions of people flock to the final resting places of their departed loved ones to pay respects.
This occurs in the national holiday days of November 1 and 2, and it is a major cultural tradition
that stems from religion and spirituality. The term Undas is derived from its original
• Spanish origins, Uno de Novembre Dia de las Almas y todos los Santos, and the tradition has
since evolved in the Philippines to have its own distinct rituals and its own place in Philippine
culture.
 
• A typical Undas has people travelling from all over the country to come to their hometowns and
other places where their departed family or friends are, going to the burial sites beforehand to
clean and prepare or during the holidays to visit, pay their respects, and spend time at the
graves with other family and friends. People bring candles to light, food to share, flowers,
pictures, and other kinds of tribute. Some people also bring tent and tarps for cover from the
sun as spending many hours at the burial sites is often customary for direct relatives.

• Approaching the cemetery, hundreds of people fill what is normally a road full of cars, and even
the busy roads and intersection had been closed and rerouted to make way for all the people,
and with the people, vendors flanked both sides of the streets selling candles, flowers, and all
kinds of products.
MARKET PRICES STUDIES
• With the wide variety of different services and burial options, it’s important to have an idea of how
the prices of different packages varies around the metropolis. There is quite a large range of
available options to choose from, and all cemeteries, columbaria, and memorial parks cater to
different target markets, but comparing the market values across the board can provide a strong
basis for new developments pricing in the future.
 
• At the high end of the spectrum, upscale facilities like The Sanctuarium that boast amenities like
that of a hotel to tend to the visitors, originally listing at a range of P45,000 to P75,000 when it
opened in 2006, now offers prices only by direct inquiry at a range of 80,000 to 150,000 pesos,
with some reports of complete service packages reaching as high as 255,000 pesos.
• These prices are still low in comparison to some big private memorial parks, which is why it is
worth noting that The Sanctuarium is a columbarium – the most affordable option of urban burial.
These prices cover basic ceremonies, documentation, cremation, the urn and the columbary vault.
For the families that go for a more extravagant facility, they usually build their own in the form of a
personalized private mausoleum for their loved one(s). Some of the most lavish and expensive
mausoleums in the country are within the metro in places like upscale Taguig, where many of the
mausoleums are the size of a house. The Heritage Park in Taguig sells lawn lots of just 1.2 square
meters for around P200,000, while garden and estate lots go for P2,000,000 and P18,000,000
respectively, with the multi-million-peso construction of the mausoleum as an additional expense.
The Heritage Park also has a columbarium which sells vaults for P157,000-P238,220 depending on
the location. All these numbers representing the base prices given, not yet including the
maintenance and administration fees that often pile on top of any premium real estate.
MARKET PRICES STUDIES

• In the mid-range of prices, places like the previously mentioned Ascension


Columbary offer vaults near the middle of the metro for very competitive
prices. The price range of the vaults ranges from as low as 61,750php to as
much as 125,000php, with reasonable instalment options and lifetime
ownership after payment is complete, and each vault can house up to 4
standard sized urns. Cremation typically costs around P25,000 plus any
costs of viewing beforehand and if the urn is included or not. The
estimated cost for a decent middle class burial is reported to be from
P50,000 to P100,000, with the biggest difference of the price often coming
down to the quality of the casket and headstone. At this price range,
however, columbary vaults are the only option that fits when it comes to
urban burials in Metro Manila. As the cost of living continually rises, so
does the cost of burials, and these are not immune to inflation either, with
annually reported price hikes.
MARKET PRICES STUDIES
• Fortunately for the urban poor and families who can’t afford middle class burials, there are decent amount of
cheaper options put in place specifically to allow the less fortunate to be able to afford a
decent burial for their departed loved ones. The Manila North Cemetery offers cremation and
columbary niches for free for qualified applicants, and those who don’t qualify for total
financial assistance can still avail of niches and tombs for unbeatable prices at P1,500-P2,500
depending on the headstone, or larger apartment tombs for caskets at P7,000-P8,000 which
are good for at least five years, after which the city informs the family and if they choose not
to renew the contract, the bones will be transferred to a communal ossuary type of mass
grave. Other places in the metro have tried to do similar programs, like the Garden of Life Park
in Mandaluyong City, a public cemetery offering full funerary services at low prices to cater to
lower-income families. In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Mandaluyong City Mayor Benhur
Abalos said the public cemetery’s concept is a way to “give dignified burials for the poor.
• The Garden of Life Park charges P8,000 for cremation, with extra discounts for qualified
applicants that allow for a P4,000 cremation for those buried for over 5 years, and P100 in
monthly charges for storage of urns in their columbarium. Around the country a typical basic
package of a funeral parlor that includes embalmment, casket, wake arrangements, permits
and documentation, and hearse transfers, can be as low as P15,000 not including a burial plot.
Cremation, being not as common in other parts of the country, would usually cost the same
amount. Some memorial services have strategic partnerships that allow them to offer
complete funeral packages at their facility, plus an included burial plot with tomb at a public
cemetery elsewhere, usually located on the farther sides of the city, such as the Norsam
Memorial Chapel in Tandang Sora, Quezon City and their included tombs at the Bagbag public
cemetery in Novaliches, Quezon City.
MARKET PRICES STUDIES

• Mausoleums are an investment, and they may


not be a vaible option for everyone. In Golden
Haven mausoleum price is 647,000 million
pesos are for 12lots
Study of Cost of Maintenance of Burials

• A cemetery will likely charge a maintenace fee


to cover upkeep of the grave and grounds.
This fee, often 5% to 15% of the plot price, will
be added into the cost of thegrave or
entombment space, though a few cemeteries
will bill the family annually instead.
