How to Choose the Right Burial Plot? (Aurora Agency Practical Guide)

Choosing a burial plot for a parent or elder is not merely purchasing a piece of land—it's securing a peaceful, respectful resting place for decades or even generations.

For families in Johor Bahru, Kulai, Ulu Tiram, Segamat and Melaka, a suitable burial plot must balance landform, environment, maintenance, accessibility and affordability.

This guide is prepared by Aurora Agency, based on years of real field experience and assisting over 1,000 families.

What Makes a Burial Plot “Suitable”?

In simple terms: A suitable burial plot = stable land + peaceful environment + balanced Feng Shui + reliable maintenance + comfortable budget.

The 5 Key Factors When Choosing a Burial Plot

1. Stable and Safe Landform

Look for land that:

• Does not retain water after rain
• Has solid soil structure without sinking
• Has no erosion or structural risks

2. Quiet and Non-Oppressive Surroundings

A peaceful environment brings emotional comfort during visits. Avoid areas near:

• Factories or industrial noise
• Main roads pointing directly at the plot
• High-voltage towers or visually chaotic surroundings

3. Harmonious Feng Shui Structure

You do not need to be a Feng Shui master. These simple principles can help evaluate suitability:

• Backing (Support): A mild hill or raised structure behind the plot represents stability.
• Open Bright Hall: An open space in front symbolizes clarity and smooth family prosperity.
• Balanced Left & Right: Both sides should feel balanced, without one side excessively higher.
• Avoid direct-road impact or reverse-bow roads: Roads or water channels should not rush directly toward the plot.
• Ensure left–right landforms do not “press down”: Overly high structures on one side create imbalance.
• Avoid sharp-angle structures pointing at the plot: Sharp corners create visual tension and Feng Shui “sha qi”.

4. Long-Term Maintenance Matters

A cemetery must remain well-maintained for decades. Nirvana Memorial Park ensures this with a RM100 million maintenance trust fund.

5. Budget and Instalment Flexibility

Aurora Agency provides 0% instalment (12–60 months), allowing families to plan comfortably without a heavy upfront payment.
