Nirvana Sungai Besi / Wisma Nirvana
富贵纪念馆

While it has since been surpassed by Nirvana Center Kuala Lumpur in terms of size and luxury, Nirvana Memorial Center will always remain a first and an achievement milestone for Nirvana Asia as its first urban memorial centre. Officially opened in September 2004 by then Transport Minister, Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy, Nirvana Memorial Center is located at the southern edge of Kuala Lumpur in Sungai Besi. At the time of its opening, it was considered the leading and largest funeral parlour in the country. Today, it still serves as the main headquarters of Nirvana Asia Group and one of the best memorial centres in Malaysia.

The establishment of Nirvana Memorial Center was part of founder Tan Sri Kong Hon Kong’s vision to create a one-stop bereavement care centre where funeral rites and ceremonies can be conducted in a special building dedicated for such purposes and a place where bereft families and visitors can mourn departed loved ones in comfort.

Aside from funeral parlours, the air-conditioned complex consists of six stories with marble floors, closed-circuit television monitoring systems, 24-hour security system, internet WiFi facilities, advanced embalming facilities, cold room, vegetarian restaurant, florist and corporate offices. Nirvana Memorial Center bears the distinction as the first centre to introduce the iconic all-female White Ladies team, and the Remains Spa Treatment & Cadaveric Restoration service.

The RM25 million centre also contains an exhibition hall featuring funeral cultural items, including a reproduction of a Han dynasty gold-threaded jade burial suit, replicas of luxurious caskets used by celebrities, exquisite urns, and longevity costumes. As Nirvana Asia’s main headquarters, it also serves as a training centre for staff and agents.
