The scattering of ashes in the waters off Singapore, arranged with calm and care. We handle the boat, the permit and the simple ceremony on board, so your family can be fully present.
A sea burial is the scattering of cremated ashes at sea. In Singapore this takes place at a designated scattering site in the waters south of Pulau Semakau, where the ashes are gently returned to the sea from a licensed vessel.
Many families choose a sea burial as a natural, peaceful return, a quiet release rather than a fixed resting place at a columbarium. For some it reflects a wish the loved one held, a closeness to the water, or simply a feeling that the open sea is the right place to let go.
Ang Brothers arranges everything that makes the day calm and simple. We book the boat, we handle the permit, and we guide a short ceremony on board, so your family can focus on the farewell and nothing else.
From the booking to the moment of farewell at sea, every part is taken care of for you.
A sea burial with Ang Brothers includes:
Because a sea burial depends on the boat, the timing and the number of family members joining, we share the price clearly on request rather than as a fixed figure here. There is nothing hidden, and we will walk you through every item before anything is confirmed. Call or WhatsApp us any hour and we will give you a straight answer.
Our own crew and boat, fresh flowers, and the family on board for the final release into the waters off Singapore.
A sea burial suits families of every faith and none. Buddhist and Taoist families often choose it as a natural return in keeping with their beliefs, and we can arrange chanting or a short rite on board. Christian and Catholic families are welcome to hold a prayer and a reading at the scattering site, and non religious families a simple, quiet moment. We shape the farewell around what feels right for you.
Many families also wish to keep something close. You do not have to scatter all of the ashes. We can help you keep a portion in a small urn or in keepsake jewellery, and return the rest to the sea, so there is both a place to remember and the peace of the open water.
