Location of tomb
Mr. and Mrs. Goh Ong Cheng are buried in Block 1 Division C, plot 291 plot 292
What is unique is the double tomb is slightly different from normal conventions. Madam Yeo Cheng Neo (who passed away earlier) is buried on the left, while Mr. Goh Ong Cheng is buried on the right. Maybe for different fengshui reasons ?
