I recently visited Bukit Brown cemetery, a place that is as fascinating as it is haunting. The vast collection of over 100,000 graves is a testament to Singapore's rich history and diverse culture. As I roamed among the tombs, I couldn't help but marvel at the intricate funerary art and the unique ways different cultures bury their dead. But it wasn't just the graves that caught my attention - the lush greenery and birdlife that have reclaimed the cemetery are a stark reminder of the fragility of life and how nature finds a way to thrive even in the midst of death. I spent hours exploring the different sections of the cemetery, reading epitaphs and pondering the lives of those who lay beneath. If you're looking for a place to reflect and connect with Singapore's past, Bukit Brown is definitely worth a visit.
