Funeral cost in Singapore remains a tug of war between proper planning and having the resources for all available options that are wished to include in the funeral. There are various types of funeral services available nowadays, and some are heavy on the religious and traditional rituals aspects (which we will not talk about in this article). Knowing funeral services enables us to have a better option in considering what funeral services are fitting for a loved one or pre-planned funerals.
Wake
Wake is another Singapore funeral service that takes place before the actual funeral. Wakes consist of two stages, initially the viewing and the visitation. Several Christians and Catholics have a wake funeral so the faithful can conduct their prayers and rituals for the deceased.
Memorial service
Another common funeral service is the memorial service. The only difference of memorial is that the deceased body is not present, unlike traditional where the casketed body is present. However, in some cases like cremation burial, the ashes or the urn may be presented during the service. Memorial services can take place anytime, even after the deceased is buried, so families can take time to prepare for the gathering.
Traditional funeral
Traditional funeral service occurs right after the body is prepared by a local funeral director in Singapore. A traditional funeral is about the coming together of close people (friends, relatives, and family members) to pay respect to the deceased through eulogies, prayers, songs, and even sermons. It is the most common type of funeral service.
Celebration of life
Many surviving families can prepare for the celebration of life in months, years, weeks following the funeral, while some choose during traditional funeral service. This type of funeral service is more about the joyful celebration than the more serious and solemn atmosphere found in most funeral services.
