Buddhist Funeral Services in Singapore: A Guide to Rituals, Costs, and Offerings
Key Rituals in a Buddhist Funeral:
At Singapore Funeral Group, we specialize in providing all the necessary services for a dignified and respectful Buddhist funeral. Our experienced team handles every detail, from preparing the venue to coordinating with monks and ensuring all rituals are carried out according to Buddhist customs.
We arrange the funeral wake at either the void deck, memorial hall, or funeral parlour, depending on the family’s preference. The venue will be carefully decorated with Buddhist scriptures and religious symbols, and an offering table will be set up to pay homage to Buddha and the deceased.
Our funeral directors will coordinate with Buddhist monks from local temples to lead the prayer sessions and chanting rituals. The monks perform chanting ceremonies upon the arrival of the casket, throughout the wake, and on the final day, guiding the soul to the Pure Land (极乐净土).
We offer flexibility in personalizing Buddhist funeral services based on dialect groups and specific traditions. Whether you prefer a simple ceremony or a more elaborate service with cultural elements such as offering of meals before the deceased’s tablet or colored mourning badges, we ensure everything is carried out seamlessly.
We understand that cost is a concern for many families. Singapore Funeral Group offers affordable Buddhist funeral packages that cater to different needs:
Our professional team ensures that the body is prepared with utmost care and respect. Once the body is transferred from the hospital or home, we perform dignified cleaning, make-up, and embalming (if requested). Embalming allows for the use of a viewing panel in the casket, providing family members the opportunity to pay their last respects.
Families may provide a set of clothing, including undergarments and shoes, for the deceased. If desired, we can supply a traditional longevity suit (寿衣), or "Shou Yi," a special ceremonial garment worn by the deceased. Additionally, for Buddhist devotees who have taken precepts (皈依) in temples, we recommend using their personal chanting robes during the funeral rites.
Once the body is prepared, the Buddhist encoffin prayer is performed, with monks leading the ceremony. The body is then placed in the casket, along with religious items such as incense, Buddhist scriptures, and personal belongings, which symbolize the journey into the afterlife.
We offer a wide selection of Buddhist-themed caskets that range from simple, elegant designs to those engraved with Lotus flowers or Buddhist scriptures. Families can also choose burial or cremation services, with options for a wide variety of burial caskets if needed.
Buddhist funerals in Singapore typically last 3 to 7 days, with most families opting for an odd number of days as per tradition. The length of the wake often depends on the availability of family members to keep vigil over the body. There are no strict rules regarding the number of days, allowing flexibility based on the family’s needs.
The chanting of sutras and prayers is a central part of any Buddhist funeral. Our standard chanting services include:
Buddhist funeral wakes are generally open 24 hours, except for those held at funeral parlours where families can specify visitation hours. Visitors should dress in dull or modest colors and offer incense to the deceased as a sign of respect upon arrival.
On the day of the funeral, the family will participate in a final prayer ceremony led by Buddhist monks. This is followed by the transfer of merits accumulated from the wake. After the prayers, the casket will be placed in the funeral hearse for its final journey to the cremation or burial site. Family members and friends may offer final tributes as they accompany the casket.
There are also smaller dialect groups such as Shanghainese, Sichuanese, Foochow, Henghua and others. Our funeral directors will determine the correct set of prayers and rites for your dialect and province of origin to ensure the funeral is conducted appropriately.

In Singapore, Christian funeral wakes can be held for up to 7 days. Families are free to choose the duration of the wake before the body is cremated or buried, depending on when friends and relatives are able to gather.
Wake visitation hours are typically open to guests 24 hours a day, unless restricted by the funeral parlour. Visitors should wear modest, dull-coloured clothing and contact the bereaved family before attending.
• Prayers and a sermon led by the pastor
On the day of the funeral, the pastor will lead a short prayer before the casket is placed into the hearse by the pallbearers. Flowers are placed on the casket, and the body is transported for cremation or burial. We will handle all necessary arrangements, including securing burial or cremation timings with the National Environment Agency.

Professional Undertakers in Singapore
An undertaker plays a vital role following the passing of a loved one. Depending on the circumstances of the death, undertakers coordinate the initial transfer arrangements, guide family members through the necessary procedures, and assist with all essential documentation.
Most hospitals require an undertaker to collect the deceased within a few hours after the death has been certified. Once the death certificate has been issued, our team can typically arrive within 60 minutes to assist the family and guide them through the next steps.
If a loved one passes away at home, a doctor must first attend the scene and certify the death. Once the necessary documentation has been completed, our undertakers will respectfully transfer your loved one from the residence to our funeral transport vehicle and bring them into our care.
The initial stages of bereavement can be overwhelming for families. Having an experienced undertaker to provide guidance and support can make the process much easier.
Our team answers any hour, day or night, with calm guidance and a clear, itemised quote. No obligation.
From the first call to the final send-off, one team arranges everything with care, so your family is free to grieve and to be present.
