When saying goodbye to a loved one, families today often seek an arrangement that balances dignity, affordability, and simplicity. Not every family chooses a traditional multi-day wake. For some, a direct cremation provides the respectful farewell they want—without the stress, complexity, or financial burden of a longer service.
Singapore Casket’s Direct Cremation Funeral packages are designed exactly for this need: straightforward, dignified, and transparent.
What Is Direct Cremation?
Direct cremation is the simplest form of funeral arrangement. Instead of holding a wake or extended ceremonies, the deceased is cared for professionally and cremated soon after passing.
For families who prefer privacy, simplicity, or cost-effective options, this approach ensures a respectful farewell without unnecessary complications.
Two Options, One Clear Purpose
Singapore Casket offers two packages for direct cremation, each crafted with care:
1. Direct Cremation Basic
This option provides all essentials for a dignified farewell:
- Panel-style wooden coffin
- Professional body preparation: bathing, dressing, and makeup in a private, air-conditioned embalming theatre
- Collection of the deceased and handling of cremation arrangements
- Transport in a Mercedes Vito hearse
- A 10″ × 12″ enlarged photo with frame and passport-size copy
- A simple hand bouquet
- Cremation fee at Mandai Crematorium and collection of ashes
This package ensures the process is seamless, respectful, and clear.
2. Direct Cremation Plus
For families who want a moment of closure, the Plus option adds:
- A private one-hour farewell at Singapore Casket’s parlour (subject to availability)
- Air-conditioned private transport (4-seater) for both ways to and from Mandai crematorium
- One carton of bottled mineral water for family and guests
This package gives loved ones a little extra time to say goodbye in comfort and privacy.
Why Families Choose Direct Cremation
Families are increasingly choosing this service because it is:
- Simple – No complex arrangements, only what’s truly needed
- Affordable – Clear inclusions with no hidden fees
- Dignified – Professional embalming, transport, and cremation ensure respect at every step
- Flexible – Additional services or keepsakes can be added if desired
It provides peace of mind at a time when families most need it.
A Thoughtful Alternative
Direct cremation doesn’t mean less care—it means focusing on what matters most. Singapore Casket ensures every step, from preparation to ashes collection, is handled with compassion and professionalism.
For some families, simplicity is the truest way to honor their loved one’s wishes. For others, it provides financial clarity and emotional ease during a difficult time.

Whether you choose the Basic or Plus option, the service is a meaningful way to say goodbye—without unnecessary cost or complexity, but with all the dignity your loved one deserves.
