The Manila Memorial Park – Sucat (MMP–Sucat) is a cemetery situated along Dr. A. Santos Avenue (Sucat Road) in Parañaque, Metro Manila, Philippines.[1]
History
The Manila Memorial Park in Parañaque was established in 1964[2] when the city was still a municipality of Rizal province.[3] In August 1985, it became the first cemetery to host a modern crematorium in a memorial park setting,[4] having been established a year after Pope Paul VI lifted the ban on cremation for Catholics.[5] The cemetery became part of a larger network of burial sites of Manila Memorial Park, Inc. with five other cemeteries under the Manila Memorial Park brand opened in other parts of the Philippines.[3]
From December 2016 to August 2017, the Rizal Premier Chapel, a new funeral venue was built.[6] The cemetery hosts a second older chapel.[4]
The Manila Memorial Park was plot setting in the drama film Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow in 2011.
