I recommend visiting Kranji War Memorial. It is an emotional experience particularly when you are the only visitor in the cemetery.
Seeing the graves of so many young servicemen who lost their lives certainly puts life in perspective.
There are two cemeteries here - a military one and a civilian one.
The cemetery is kept in immaculate condition and cared for by dedicated team who work there.
They were also very helpful and friendly in guiding me to the graves of two former Singaporean Presidents.
I took a taxi from Orchard Road and the journey was about half an hour and cost about $20. I returned on the MRT and it took just under an hour.
I recommend a visit here whether on your own or as part of a tour. I am most grateful to the amazing care takers who take such care of the graves and grounds.
Please do visit.

As with many reviewers, I took the metro to Krangi station and then took the bus two stops to the entrance (definitely easier than walking if it's hot, as it usually will be). I did not actually see any signs for the cemetery at the bus stop, although they may have existed, but a friendly local pointed out where to go. It's about a 400 m walk up a sideroad to the entrance to the cemetery.
It is huge, and rather heartbreaking when you see the ages of many of the people buried here. There is also a large pavilion with plaques listing people who were cremated or whose bodies were not located. The pavilion can be useful for shelter if one of Singapore's frequent but often brief rain showers occurs while you are here!
The displays and plaques near the entrance were useful to get some idea of Singapore history in WWII, including one which shows the significant battle sites.

For those interested in history and WW2 in particular this is a very moving place to visit. The grounds are maintained to very high standard. If travelling by Taxi make sure you get the address details correct for both drop off and collection.

We visited on a very hot and humid day so took a taxi from the MRT station which cost $4:80 well worth it. The mamorial is set on a slight incline and a few steps. It was very tranquil with flowers in the middle section, but the outer stones looked a little neglected, but there were staff gradually pressure washing them. But still no flowers. They look so sad! The fallen deserve so much more? When we had paid our respect, we headed bach to the MRT station, which is a downhill walk, but across a couple of busy roads. It took about 15 minutes. Well, it's worth a visit if you're interested in the history of Singapore. The MRT out off the city, and though the suburbs shows how inventive this countrs is to house its population? A thoroughly enjoyable and reflective morning. Remember to take plenty of water. And there are no facilities, so use the MRTs before you leave there?

Visited the Kranji War Memorial after discovering that one of my relatives is memorialised on the monument to those whose remains were unlocated after the second world war. Over 20,000 names are engraved here.
Worth visiting if you are in Singapore and want to remember the sacrifice of those of many nationalities who fought for the Crown in the Second World War.

Visiting Kranji War Memorial is not just for people who may have a connection to someone who is buried or memoralised here. It is a beautiful place to visit in respect of those who sacrificed their life defending Singapore and Malaya. Take the time to walk around the gardens and memorial and enjoy the peacefulness of this place.

Amazingly beautiful, not something that you should or would associate with a Cemetry. The location, the gardens, the structures, the view were all perfect.
A train to Kranji Station and one of a number of buses (we used 960) about 2 stops drops you at the driveway. A walk up the driveway/entrance road and you are there. It is a sad place to visit, but we wanted to go pay our respects, and were surprised with the beauty of the site. Every bit of it was well thought out and planned. We spent over an hour walking the site, what struck me was the number of unknown graves, such a moving thing to see is a headstone with no name attached.
There is nothing in the immediate area, and it's not a place you will happen upon, so you have to want to go here and make the effort to do so. But it is worth the time and effort, very moving experience.

This site is off the beaten path but provides a momment of solitude to reflects on the sacrifices that allowed Singapore to become Singapore. The diversity of backgrounds reflected on the headstones is a testament to those who fought and died to defend the area. It's located on top of a hill and provides good views of Singapore.

Decided to revisit after last being here in 1989 as a young backpacker.
Used the North South MRT Line from Newton, took about 35 minutes.
When you get off at Kranji station you exit and find buses outside. There are signs pointing the way to the site inside the station.
I caught the 960 bus and travelled 2 stops, you can see the war memorial sign on the left so you shouldn’t miss it. You could walk, its about a kilometre or so but remember it gets hot and there are no facilities at the cemetery and there are some busy junctions to negotiate.
When you get off the bus you need to follow the road adjacent to the bus stop uphill for about 500 metres, it bears off to the right and when you get to the bend in the road you will see the cemetery in front of you
It’s beautifully kept but poignant with so many young men and women of all nationalities and faiths buried there. Its a credit to the CWG how well it’s kept.
The cemetery is on a slope so do consider your abilities before visiting, there is some shade but not too much in the main cemetery itself.
I caught the bus back to the MRT station at Kranji, to do this you have to cross a busy road with a refuge in the centre as the return bus stop is almost opposite the entrance bus stop. It’s fine if you are fully mobile but if not you may want to consider getting a taxi.
I caught the 960 bus back to the MRT but there you will find a purpose built bridge across the road complete with an escalator that links directly to the station.
You can get cakes and food at the station, I did spot a supermarket there too.
Is it worth a visit-?I thought so, it’s good to see there are other aspects to Singapore apart from the shops and city.

Is the remembrance service on the Sunday closest to 11th November open to the public. I am in Singapore at this time and would like to attend.

Check with Commonwealth War Graves Commission, the website could have more info, or the Australian Embassy in Singapore. But it is a national park and is free to enter so i doubt they would close and turn away visitors

My wife and I are coming to Singapore and want to lay a wreath next March 2019, how did you obtain a wreath, we are coming in on a cruise liner with Viking ocean cruises.

Plenty of time to organised yourselves in the UK before your departure. In Australia the RSL (Returned Services League) sells official RSL approved wreathes out of heavy durable paper & cloth with a purple ribbon which says LEST WE FORGET. Your UK equivalent of the RSL would sell something similar. We (RSL Sub-Branches) recycle these wreathes on Anzac Day and 11 November; they are very durable and cost about $20. Being made of heavy paper and cloth, you'll have no problem with Quarantine; just bring it along with you on the ship. No wasted time in Singapore looking for something suitable! Have a nice trip! You'll love Singapore!

Thanks for your nice report.
I will visit Singapore in late June and plan to leave flowers at the Memorial for an old friend here in Ireland, in memory of his father who was a prisioner and died during the Occupation in1943.
Are there places where I can purchase a floral display suitable for the memorial.
My friend has asked if I can get a floral item in the shape of a Cross.
I would really appreciate any advice I receive, it would help make an old man very happy, he himself in not in good health as I write.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, any help or advice would be appreciated.

Unfortunately we didn't see any florists near Kranji. The Singapore florists do some brilliant arrangements so we suggest ordering the flowers once you arrive in Singapore and take them with you to the memorial. There were floral tributes there including several wreaths so you shouldn't have any trouble getting a Cross made. Maybe ask the Concierge at your hotel? They are usually very helpful.

I have a family member who is buried here is there a way of finding out exactly where he is?

At Commonwealth War Graves there are books available showing name and location.
You may find the same information on line, try through CWG site.
Good luck, if going to Singapore be sure to go to the Singapore National Museum.

Hi I am going to Singapore with friend soon. We are wanting to visit the Kranji war memorial. Can you get transport to the memorial or are you better to do a escorted tour there
كُتب بتاريخ 8 يوليو 2016
We caught a train from the city, the railways are very efficient and by following the lines' (ask at the information desk if you have any questions and they will inform you of what trains to get) you can buy your return ticket in the one transaction. If you keep your ticket you can add to it later and get a discount on a later trip if you use it a number of times. Once you reach Kranji you can walk to the memorial in about 15 minutes and spend as long as you wish there then walk back. That is what we did and it was a pleasant walk. The locals are only too happy to send you on the way you need to go. They speak English so there are no language difficulties.

Hi Kranji War Memorial Staff (and past visitors)
I'd like some information about the kind of stone which the memorial is made of please - granite?, local stone? concrete - someone suggested that...
Also, does the star signify the Burma Star or perhaps the Pacific Star? And what significance does the sphere have? I'm doing an essay for a university course and have had huge difficulty finding any details!
Many thanks
Sue Pirrie

Hi Sue,
Thanks for your question,
Regarding the stone, according to the Bills of Quantities files,
the Kranji Memorial is built from concrete and Portland cement. It is adorned with Portland stone name tablets.
With regards to the star and sphere, unfortunately, I am afraid we could not find an explanation for the symbolism or significance behind these. I'm sorry that we could not help with that element, often there will be no records that attest to the artistic impulses behind specific features.
Good luck with your course
Thank you
CWGC

Can we just catch a taxi from central Singapore to the war memorial on Anzac day and attend without a ticket or book a tour etc. My husband is an ex soldier and would he be able to march.. Thank you.

The journey by mrt will take you about 45minutes from town and cost you about sgd2.5 on the red line. You can combine visit of the memorial with a visit to the zoo amd night safari. You have direct bus from woodlands MRT (2 stations away from Kranji). Kranji is also a transit point if you are going to JB in malaysia.
