Golden Haven Memorial Park Inc. held the grand launch of Palazzo Laterano recently with the renowned all-professional choir Huni. A special lighting ceremony highlighted Palazzo Laterano, a picturesque open-air Italian-inspired columbary masterpiece with life-size statues of Christ the Redeemer and the four evangelists Johannes, Matteus, Lucas and Marcus.

Inspired by its namesake, the palace in ancient Rome that later became the residence of the Popes for several years before it became a museum at the Vatican, the Palazzo Laterano at Golden Haven is finished in travertine stone, the same stone cladding used in the façade of the St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. It has a fountain and pond where one can light floating candles.

The Palazzo Laterano has three inventories available: the Columbarium (for four urns or two bones); the Family Columbarium and the Family Gallery (a complete package of columbary, family columbary and niche). For inquiries, visit Golden Haven office at the 4th Ongtiak Bldg. (atop Unionbank beside STC) Mango Avenue, Cebu, City or call Tel. No. 255-03-94 for free site visits to view Golden Haven Park’s other beautiful amenities like the butterfly-open garden, koi pond and dragonfly sanctuary, Imperial Gardens, Pope John Paul II Memorial Hill, among others.
