There is no graveyard attached to St. Andrew’s Cathedral in Singapore. For story purposes I had to invent one because most of the old cemeteries in Singapore (including the Fort Canning Cemetery, which is also referred to) were dug up to make room for urban development. Records from 1952 show that there were 229 registered burial grounds in the rapidly growing metropolis. As these cemeteries were closed, the bones were exhumed and cremated. Whenever possible, the cremated remains were moved to the Choa Chu Kang Columbarium, part of the only cemetery in Singapore still open for burials. The terms and conditions of the Choa Chu Kang Cemetery state that after fifteen years, a body shall be exhumed for reburial or cremation.
