We exist for one reason — so that no family should have to face the loss of a loved one alone.
From the very first call to the final prayers, we shoulder the arrangements, the paperwork and the rites — quietly and respectfully — so that you can spend these precious days close to the people who matter most. Every detail is handled with the same care we would give our own family.
A farewell should reflect the life it honours. We hold fast to time-honoured customs and religious rites, while embracing thoughtful, modern touches — so that every service feels personal and sincere, never templated.
Buddhist, Taoist, Christian or free-thinker — we arrange the rites faithfully according to your family's beliefs and dialect customs.
Complete packages with no hidden charges. We explain every cost before you decide, so there are no surprises during a difficult time.
A dedicated funeral director stays with your family throughout and is reachable day or night — help is only ever a phone call away.
In the first hours, you do not need to face the arrangements alone. Call us first — we will handle everything that follows.
Contact our 24-hour hotline. Our advisor will guide you calmly through what needs to be done, wherever the passing occurred.
We assist with the doctor's Certificate of Cause of Death (CCOD) and the official death documentation required in Singapore.
Our team transfers your loved one with care to the wake venue — void deck, funeral parlour or your home — and prepares the setup.
We arrange the altar, casket and monk chanting rites, so your family can focus on being present with one another.
A full Buddhist funeral service, arranged end to end — every detail handled with reverence.
Full setup at HDB void deck, funeral parlour or private residence — tentage, altar, Buddha image, floral arrangements, photo enlargement and nightly support.
Venerable monks conduct chanting and transference-of-merit rites — at the encoffinment, nightly prayers, funeral day and cremation, per Mahayana or Theravada tradition.
Professional embalming, dressing and encoffinment performed with dignity, with a quality casket appropriate to Buddhist customs.
Booking of the cremation slot at Mandai Crematorium, hearse and family transport, and respectful ash collection the following day.
Arrangement of 7th-day (头七), 49-day (七七) and 100-day memorial prayers, guiding your loved one's journey and bringing comfort to the family.
Guidance on niche selection at government or temple columbaria, or arrangement of sea scattering with the appropriate Buddhist ritual.
Each rite carries deep meaning — generating merit for the departed and guiding them peacefully toward their next journey.
Monks chant as your loved one is laid into the casket, blessing the departed and sanctifying the beginning of the wake.
Evening sutra recitations — commonly the Amitabha Sutra — transfer merit to the departed while bringing calm to the bereaved.
The final-day rite includes prayers, last respects and the procession, conducted with solemnity before the cortege departs for cremation.
In Buddhist belief, the consciousness journeys for up to 49 days. Weekly prayers, especially the 7th and 49th day, support a favourable rebirth.
If you are visiting to pay your respects, a few simple customs are good to know — though our staff are always on hand to guide you.
Dress modestly in muted tones such as white, black, blue or grey. It is customary to avoid bright colours and especially red, which signifies celebration.
Approach the altar, offer a joss stick or a quiet bow, and observe a moment of silence. If you are unsure of the customs, simply follow the family's lead or ask our staff.
There is no need for elaborate words — your presence alone brings comfort. You are welcome to sit with the family, share a memory, or simply be near.
A recent photograph for the memorial portrait, a set of the departed's clothing, and their identity documents are all that is needed — we take care of everything else.
Every package is complete — no hidden costs. Speak with our advisors for current pricing and customisation.
Call a doctor to certify the death (we can arrange one), then call our 24-hour hotline. Our team will take care of the transfer, documentation and all funeral arrangements from there.
