Buddhist Funeral Services and Packages in Singapore: 2024/2025 Comprehensive Guide

Buddhist funeral services in Singapore are deeply rooted in spiritual and cultural traditions, reflecting the belief in reincarnation and the soul's journey toward its next life. At Singapore Funeral Group we recognise that the passing of a loved one is an emotional and personal experience.

Our mission is to provide compassionate, professional, and dignified Buddhist funeral services that respect the sacred rites and beliefs of Buddhism while catering to the unique preferences and needs of each family.

In this updated guide for 2024/2025, we'll walk you through the elements of Buddhist funeral services in Singapore, discuss our various funeral packages, and explain how we support families in honouring their loved ones according to Buddhist traditions.

What is a Buddhist Funeral Service?

In the Buddhist tradition, death marks a significant transition in the continuous cycle of life, death, and rebirth. A Buddhist funeral service is not only about grieving the loss of a loved one but also about facilitating their peaceful transition to their next reincarnation. The funeral ceremony is designed to generate merit for the deceased, offer comfort to the family, and pay respects to the teachings of Buddha.

Our Buddhist funeral services include sacred rituals such as:

• Monk-led chanting of prayers and sutras to provide spiritual guidance for the deceased.

• Offerings of food and incense to honour the deceased and make merit on their behalf.

• Traditional Buddhist rites, including the offering of a pearl placed in the mouth of the deceased, symbolizing purity and respect.

Each of these elements plays a crucial role in helping the soul move on peacefully while comforting the family with the hope of reincarnation into a better life.

Our Comprehensive Buddhist Funeral Service Packages

At Singapore Funeral Group, we offer a variety of Buddhist funeral service packages to accommodate different budgets and preferences. These packages are thoughtfully crafted to ensure that all essential aspects of the ceremony are covered while also allowing for customization based on family wishes.

Here are the core services included in our packages:

• Transportation Services: We provide seamless transport of the deceased from the place of passing (home, hospital, or hospice) to the funeral venue. Our team handles the entire process, including cleaning, embalming, and preparing the body. Should the passing occur at home, we can also arrange for a doctor to issue the necessary death certification.

• Funeral Wake Setup: We offer full wake setup services, whether the wake is held at a void deck, funeral parlor, or the family’s residence. Our setups include chairs, tables, lights, and fans to ensure comfort for the family and visitors. The funeral environment is set up in a respectful, peaceful manner, reflecting the solemnity of the occasion.

• Casket Services: Our packages come with a high-quality half-glass casket, which allows for viewing while maintaining the integrity of the embalmed body. After embalming, a sutra blanket is gently placed over the deceased, and a pearl is placed in their mouth according to Buddhist traditions.

• Monk-Led Prayers and Chanting: We collaborate with local temples to provide monks who lead the funeral service in chanting sacred sutras such as the Amitabha Sutra, Heart Sutra, and Great Compassion Mantra. These prayers are essential in generating merit for the deceased and guiding their spirit toward a peaceful rebirth.

• Altar Setup and Offerings: Our service includes the preparation of a beautiful funeral altar, adorned with Buddhist scriptures, fresh fruits, flowers, and sandalwood incense. These offerings symbolize respect for the deceased and help accumulate merit in their name.

• Vegetarian Offerings: Fresh fruits, buns, and vegetarian offerings are provided for the prayers. All offerings are prepared according to Buddhist customs to honour the deceased and provide comfort for the grieving family.

• Cremation or Burial Arrangements: Cremation is thepreferred practice in Buddhism, as it symbolizes the impermanence of life. However, we also cater to families who prefer burial services, ensuring that all religious rites are observed. We handle the necessary arrangements with crematoria or cemeteries in Singapore.

• Final Day Procession: On the final day of the funeral, we provide a Mercedes-Benz glass hearse to transport the casket to the crematorium or burial site. Air-conditioned buses are also available to transport family members and guests. Traditional towel gifts and flower water are provided at the crematorium for family members to wash their hands to mark the end of the final rites.

• Obituary Notices: We assist in printing and displaying obituary notices at the wake venue. A digital version (PDF) is also provided for online sharing. For an additional fee, we can help publish the obituary in local newspapers or online platforms.

• Post-Funeral Rituals: Our services do not end after the funeral. We offer arrangements for post-funeral rituals such as the 49-day prayers and ash placement ceremonies. These rituals are crucial in helping the soul move on peacefully to its next life.
