An Viên Quê Hương

An Viên Quê Hương is a community-focused cremation and funeral-care project initiated by Quê Hương Pagoda in Đồng Tháp, Vietnam. Established to ease the burden of end-of-life arrangements and reduce pressure on land resources, the project is designed to serve families regardless of religion. Its central facility is planned for a site of about 20,000 square metres and includes modern cremation technology with systems intended to manage emissions and waste.

The project’s services are intended to include cremation, spaces for funeral rites, and temporary storage and respectful worship of cremated remains. A pagoda and columbarium, a coordination centre, waiting areas, and a landscaped pond and garden are also part of the planned complex. A key commitment is to provide funeral and cremation support free of charge to people in hardship, including homeless and vulnerable individuals who die without support. The initiative also aims to provide stable employment for its staff and foster community generosity through the principle, “Those who can help are welcome; those in need are welcome to receive.” Construction began on May 1, 2025, with voluntary public donations supporting the project.
