Manila Memorial Park – Sucat

The Manila Memorial Park in Parañaque was established in 1964,^[2] when the city was still a municipality of Rizal province.^[3] In August 1985, it became the first cemetery to host a modern crematorium in a memorial park setting,^[4] having been established a year after Pope Paul VI lifted the ban on cremation for Catholics.^[5] The cemetery became part of a larger network of burial sites of Manila Memorial Park, Inc. with five other cemeteries under the Manila Memorial Park brand opened in other parts of the Philippines.^[3]

From December 2016 to August 2017, the Rizal Premier Chapel, a new funeral venue was built.^[6] The cemetery hosts a second older chapel.^[4]
