For more than a century, Nacional has been a trusted name in the Philippines’ memorial services industry. Now, the institution that began in 1900 is embracing the future with the launch of its brand-new facility along Araneta Avenue, Quezon City—introducing a fresh identity as Nacional Chapels and Crematory.
The redevelopment project, which began in 2018 and was completed after three years, represents one of the biggest milestones in the industry over the past decade. Designed with Filipino families in mind, the new five-story facility blends comfort, convenience, and sophistication rarely seen in memorial centers.
A Modern Space for Honoring Loved Ones
The new Nacional boasts 15 chapels of varying sizes and designs, ensuring that families can choose a space that reflects their needs and preferences. Of these, nine chapels feature private family rooms complete with a bedroom, dining area, and toilet and bath—providing added comfort and privacy during wake services.
Managing Director Annette Estacion explains:
“The new Nacional was designed to give families a place where they can honor their loved ones with dignity, while also offering a warm and sophisticated space where relatives and friends can come together to celebrate life and create lasting memories.”
Thoughtful Facilities with World-Class Standards
To make the journey as seamless as possible, Nacional has incorporated state-of-the-art cremation and preparation equipment that meet international standards. Families can also accompany their dearly departed through every step of the process, with well-spaced viewing rooms that support a complete final journey together.
Beyond the chapels, the building features cozy lounges with plush seating, as well as non-denominational incense rooms for quiet reflection and personal devotion.
Redefining the Memorial Experience
According to Lia Enriquez, President of Rosehills Memorial Management Phils. Inc., which now oversees Nacional:
“Careful planning and robust investment went into creating a modern facility that Filipino families can rely on for their memorial needs—without putting undue financial strain. With the new Nacional, we bring the same best practices that have made The Heritage Park a premier name in the industry, but at more accessible rates.”
A Legacy Reimagined
What started as Nacional Memorial Homes has now evolved into Nacional Chapels and Crematory, an institution that combines its rich heritage with modern innovation. More than just a facility, it stands as a testament to honoring life with respect, elegance, and compassion.
