What a Catholic funeral in Singapore involves

Start with the parish the deceased normally attended. Confirm priest and church availability before fixing the funeral or cremation time. Ang Brothers can coordinate transport and the wake around the schedule agreed with your parish. See the Church of St Michael’s published parish guidance.

A Catholic funeral usually follows three stages: the vigil, with wake prayers often led by the Rosary; the Funeral Mass, also called the Requiem Mass, held at the parish church; and the rite of committal at the cemetery or columbarium. The crucifix, holy water and the liturgical prayers of the Church are central throughout. We coordinate closely with your parish priest and church, arranging the wake, the transport to the church for Mass, and the committal. The Catholic Church prefers burial and permits cremation in keeping with Church teaching. If you choose cremation, ask your parish about a suitable sacred place for the ashes and confirm eligibility and availability before booking. See the Catholic Church guidance on burial and cremation.

What happens, step by step

Families often feel calmer once they can see the whole journey laid out. A Catholic funeral moves through three stages, and here is the usual sequence.

In the first hours

We arrange collection after certification and any required release clearance. We contact your parish priest to set the dates for the vigil, the Requiem Mass and the committal.

The vigil, with wake prayers and the Rosary

The first stage is the vigil. At the wake, family and friends gather to pray, often reciting the Rosary, beside the casket set with a portrait, the crucifix and candles.

The Funeral Mass, the Requiem Mass at the church

The second stage is the Funeral Mass, the Requiem Mass, celebrated by the priest at the parish church. We arrange the transport of the casket and the family to the church, where holy water and the liturgical prayers of the Church are central to the service.

The rite of committal

The third stage is the committal at the cemetery or columbarium. Final prayers are offered as the deceased is laid to rest. Both burial and cremation are permitted by the Church.

After the committal

If your family chooses cremation, Ang Brothers can help with ash collection. Confirm a suitable sacred place with your parish before you book a niche or make placement arrangements.

Symbols and what they mean

  • The crucifix: placed at the wake and carried through the rites, the central sign of the Christian hope in the Resurrection.
  • Holy water: used to bless the deceased, a reminder of Baptism and the welcome into eternal life.
  • The Rosary: prayed at the vigil, a way for the family to keep prayerful watch together.
  • Flowers and candles: signs of remembrance and of the light of faith.

If you are attending

Follow the family’s dress guidance and the parish’s directions during Mass. If you are unsure about Communion or other parts of the service, ask the parish beforehand.

Catholic funeral FAQ

Do you coordinate the Requiem Mass with our parish?

Start with the parish the deceased normally attended. Confirm priest and church availability before fixing the funeral or cremation time. Ang Brothers can coordinate transport and the wake around the schedule agreed with your parish.

Do you arrange the vigil and the Rosary?

Yes. We set up the wake for the vigil, with the crucifix, candles and a place for the family and friends to gather and pray the Rosary together beside the casket.

Burial or cremation, and which Catholic columbarium?

The Catholic Church prefers burial and permits cremation in keeping with Church teaching. If you choose cremation, ask your parish about a suitable sacred place for the ashes and confirm eligibility and availability before booking.

How much does a Catholic funeral cost?

Catholic Graceful Tribute costs $5,388 nett for 3 days, $5,888 nett for 4 days and $6,388 nett for 5 days. These are the published HDB void deck or pavilion prices. The Mandai cremation fee is included. Ask what parish, venue or burial costs apply to your arrangements. See the Catholic package details.

What should we expect at each of the three stages?

The vigil comes first, with wake prayers often led by the Rosary. The Funeral Mass, the Requiem Mass, follows at the parish church. The rite of committal at the cemetery or columbarium comes last. We guide your family through each stage and coordinate every detail with the church.
