Nirvana Memorial Park (Chinese: 富貴山莊~~私營風景墓園) is a private cemetery and mortuary in Semenyih, Selangor, Malaysia.[1] The longest dragon statue in Malaysia is located here. It is 1,000 feet long and serves as a columbarium. It is fully air conditioned inside. Nirvana was established in 1985 by David Kong and is touted as the largest funeral service in Southeast Asia.[2] It also serves as a pet cemetery.
2026 urn theft
In March 2026, Polis Diraja Malaysia confirmed that a number of urns were stolen from a columbarium in the memorial park. A similar theft was reported at Perpetual Memorial Park in Kulai, Johor, and Xiao En Memorial Park in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan. The theft was suspected to be related to a cross-border criminal group holding the ashes of deceased for ransom. Nirvana have since confirmed that all stolen urns were recovered.[3][4] Nirvana was later sued by a family for negligence after two urns containing their parents were stolen.[5]
