Kuala Lumpur’s first one-stop bereavement care center.
While Nirvana Center Kuala Lumpur has since surpassed its size and luxury, Nirvana Memorial Center will always remain a first achievement milestone for Nirvana Asia as its first urban memorial center. Officially opened in September 2004 by then Transport Minister Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy, Nirvana Memorial Center is located at the southern edge of Kuala Lumpur in Sungai Besi. At its opening, it was considered the country’s leading and largest funeral parlor. Today, it still serves as the main headquarters of Nirvana Asia Group and one of the best memorial centers in Malaysia.
The establishment of Nirvana Memorial Center was part of founder Tan Sri Kong Hon Kong’s vision to create a one-stop bereavement care center where funeral rites and ceremonies can be conducted in a unique building dedicated to such purposes and a place where suffering families and visitors can mourn departed loved ones in comfort. Aside from funeral parlors, the air-conditioned complex consists of six stories with marble floors, closed-circuit television monitoring systems, a 24-hour security system, internet WiFi facilities, advanced embalming facilities, a cold room, a vegetarian restaurant, a florist, and corporate offices. Nirvana Memorial Center is the first to introduce the iconic all-female White Ladies team and the Remains Spa Treatment & Cadaveric Restoration service.
The RM25 million center also contains an exhibition hall featuring funeral cultural items, including a reproduction of a Han dynasty gold-threaded jade burial suit, replicas of luxurious caskets used by celebrities, exquisite urns, and longevity costumes. As Nirvana Asia’s main headquarters, it also serves as a training center for staff and agents.
