3 Buddhist Funeral Package Options in Singapore

At Singapore Funeral Group, we have curated three Buddhist funeral service packages that are most commonly required by families who entrust us during their time of need. These packages are designed to accommodate different wake venue options.

Each package includes the complete funeral setup, casket services, Buddhist religious rites, and all necessary logistical arrangements—ensuring a smooth, dignified, and respectful farewell.

First, the Buddhist HDB Void Deck Package is suitable for families holding a wake at a regular HDB void deck or multi-purpose hall. Our Funeral Directors will assist with the booking and coordination of the event space.

Second, for families residing in private properties or condominiums, or for those who prefer not to conduct the wake at an HDB setting, the Buddhist Funeral Parlour Package is recommended. We will arrange a suitable funeral parlour for the ceremony.

Alternatively, where permitted, a canopy setup may be arranged within the private property. A site survey will be conducted to assess the space and advise on the maximum seating capacity.

Lastly, the Direct Funeral Package is suitable for families who do not require an overnight wake. A simple prayer ceremony may be conducted before the casket is respectfully sent for cremation.

All our Buddhist funeral packages cover essential religious and service requirements, eliminating the need for families to make separate arrangements. Each package is fully customisable and may be upgraded or personalised to meet individual preferences and expectations.

What Should I Prepare for a Buddhist Funeral Service?

It is always advisable to plan ahead so that you are not overwhelmed when the time comes. Early preparation helps to minimise stress, avoid unnecessary last-minute arrangements, and allows the family to focus on paying their respects meaningfully.

 

Clothing for the Final Journey

It is important to prepare at least one set of clothing and bring it to the hospital. Dressing your loved one appropriately during the discharge process ensures a dignified and respectful farewell.

You may also provide an additional set of clothing to be worn in the casket during the wake or final rites.

 

Photograph for the Funeral Service

Families are encouraged to select a suitable photograph in advance. If the photo is a group picture, we can professionally crop and edit it to focus on the individual.

To ensure good print quality, please avoid photos that are blurry, taken in low lighting, or heavily discoloured. Having a backup photograph is always recommended in case the selected image is unsuitable for enlargement.

Frequent Asked Questions

Death Certificate

If the passing occurs in a hospital, the attending doctor will issue the death certificate. If the passing occurs at home, a family doctor may be engaged to certify the death, or we can assist in arranging a doctor on your behalf.

In cases where the cause of death is undetermined, the deceased will be conveyed to the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) for further investigation before funeral arrangements can proceed.

 

What is 49days Prayer?

In Buddhist practice, emphasis is placed on making offerings and dedicating prayers to the deceased during the 49-day period following passing.

Having a memorial tablet placed at home allows the family to create a peaceful space for remembrance and prayer. Weekly prayers are commonly conducted to generate merits for the deceased during this period.

 

What Happens After the Buddhist Funeral?

Families are encouraged to consider the final resting place for the ashes in advance. Private columbarium niches may be purchased beforehand, while applications for government columbariums can be assisted by our Funeral Directors.

Preparing the niche early allows families to better manage their time during the wake and plan their budget more effectively.

 

Can Buddhists do Land Burials in Singapore?

Yes, Buddhists may opt for land burial in Singapore. However, the casket must be of burial grade, as required by regulations. After 15 years, families will be required to recover the remains during the exhumation exercise conducted by the National Environment Agency (NEA).
