I apologize for the lack of visits this past week, but my schedule and work load has been a bit crazy again. I hope that things will normalize soon so I can see everyone's wonderful photos. In the meantime, I wish you all a very happy weekend!

After life
This would have been more appropriate for All Souls' Day last November 2, but as they say, better late than never. This is the Sanctuarium, the largest columbarium that I know of in Metro Manila. Aside from at least six levels of vaults for cinerary urns, it has three levels of wake chapels, a Buddhist temple, and it also offers funeral and cremation services.

That place is so big. I would hate to get lost in there! It's a beautiful building.
wow Hilda, this place is massive!
It's so different!
Ahh sweet friend, take your time, I wish you a beautiful weekend!
Léia :)
I have seen some real big ones, but this is really huge! Not a graceless building anyway...
Have a nice weekend, I wish you a lighter schedule for next week!
as we say in the US, that's one stop shopping!
Hmmm...it looks rather cold and desolate. Nevertheless, people must be dying to get in!
hi hilda,
i don't like this edifice bec. it reminds me of my grandma 2yrs ago. :( brought back, some of the not-so good meemories.
but don't get me wrong, the post's great and imposing.
Columbarium?? I've never heard that word before now. I guess I better start doing crossword puzzles to learn some new vocab!
Holy Gigantasourus! My father was cremated and is in a very old and ornate columbarium, but this one dwarfs it. Man that is huge.
PS: Don't stress Hilda, your schedule will lighten up.
That is the most interesting building. It is huge.
This building feels like a box.
That place is huge! Very interesting post.
Have a great weekend!
That is one gigantic building...not a very warming or "inviting" place. I don't think I have ever seen a columbarium quite this size or with this building's presence.
Enjoy your weekend, Hilda.
This is beyond a doubt the largest columbarium that I've ever seen.
Curious building indeed !
I like the look of this building, especially the dome on the top.
Nice shot, Hilda.
Oh Hilda, you have opened the eyes of this naive Jewish girl (Jews don't do cremation). I have never heard of, let alone SEEN, such a thing. I am reading your link to the Sanctuarium with morbid fascination.
wow!
