In 1996, the Burmese government announced that the cemetery would be demolished and that remains were to be relocated to Yayway Cemetery.[1] The interred remains from these cemetery relocation projects were reburied at Yayway Cemetery, located on the outskirts of the city.[2] The Kyauktawgyi Buddha Temple on Mindhamma Hill was built near the site of the former cemetery.[3]
