Singapore’s multicultural landscape means that every family has its own traditions, rituals, and ways of saying goodbye. Recognising this, Singapore Casket designs funeral packages that thoughtfully reflect the religious and cultural needs of different communities. Their approach ensures that each farewell is meaningful, dignified, and aligned with the beliefs of the family.
A Multi-Faith Approach to Funeral Care
Singapore Casket serves families from a wide range of backgrounds. Rather than offering a single, standardised funeral package, they provide dedicated packages tailored to various belief systems. This allows families to choose a farewell that matches their religious practices or personal preferences.
They provide funeral packages for:
- Christian
- Roman Catholic
- Buddhist
- Taoist
- Hindu
- Free-Thinker / Non-Religious
Direct cremation options for families seeking a simple, no wake, ceremony-free farewell
Each package includes core services while incorporating the elements unique to each belief system.
What Stays Consistent Across All Packages
Regardless of a family’s faith, Singapore Casket ensures that every package includes the essential components needed for a respectful and well-organised funeral. These typically include:
Professional embalming and body preparation
- A suitable coffin
- Professional embalming and body preparation
- Manpower, coordination, and logistical support
- Venue arrangements for the wake (parlour, void deck, or hall)
- Floral arrangements or altar setup appropriate to the belief system
- Enlarged photo portrait and condolence book
- Transport services including hearse and, when applicable, a family bus
- Cremation or burial booking and assistance
These elements ensure that every family receives comprehensive, professional care during a difficult time.
What Changes Based on the Family’s Beliefs
While the core services remain consistent, the details of each package are adjusted to honour specific customs and rituals.
For Buddhist Funerals
Packages may include Buddhist altar arrangements, offering items, and appropriate ceremonial elements such as flower water or vegetarian offerings. Monastic chanting services are often arranged as part of the rites.
For Taoist Funerals
Taoist services may involve specific ceremonial items, dialect-group traditions, and priest-led rituals. The setup of the altar and symbolic elements is customised to reflect cultural practices.
For Christian and Catholic Funerals
These packages typically include the cross or religious banner, coordination with pastors or priests, and support for prayer services or a Catholic Mass where required.
For Hindu Funerals
Hindu arrangements often include traditional bathing rituals, ceremonial items, appropriate attire, and support for customs carried out before cremation.
For Free-Thinker / Non-Religious Funerals
Families who prefer a secular, non-ritualistic farewell can opt for a simple setup without religious symbols, focusing instead on remembrance and honouring the individual’s life.
For Direct Cremation
This is ideal for families who prefer simplicity. It includes all necessary care and cremation arrangements, without a wake or ceremonial rituals.
Why Tailored Packages Matter
Respect for Tradition
Customised packages ensure that religious requirements are honoured correctly and respectfully.
Comfort for Families
During grief, families may not know the precise rituals required. Tailored packages remove uncertainty and offer guidance.
A Meaningful Farewell
A funeral aligned with beliefs and values brings emotional comfort and ensures the farewell reflects the individual’s life.
Clarity and Ease
Tailored packages give families a clearer understanding of what is included, reducing confusion and helping them make decisions confidently.
In a diverse society like Singapore, funerals are never just logistical events — they are deeply personal expressions of belief, culture, and love. Singapore Casket’s tailored packages recognise this, offering families the flexibility and support needed to honour their loved ones in the most meaningful way.
