When someone we love passes on, there is often very little time to make what feel like enormous decisions, and it can all land at once. A funeral package exists to carry much of that weight for you, gathering the many services a wake and cremation involve into one clear arrangement so that your family can focus on saying goodbye.
Across our forty years caring for Singapore families, we have learned that the real question is rarely only about price. It is about choosing a package that fits your faith, your wishes and your budget without any unwelcome surprises. This guide explains how a funeral package actually works and what to look for, so that you can decide with a clear mind. If you have only just received the news, our guide on what to do when someone dies in Singapore walks through the very first steps.
A funeral package is a single, coordinated arrangement that brings together every service needed to hold a dignified farewell, from the moment we collect your loved one to the day the ashes are returned to you. Rather than approaching a casket supplier, an embalmer, a hearse operator and a religious celebrant separately, you deal with one team that manages the whole flow and keeps the timings in step.
Most families choose a package for a few simple reasons:
You are welcome to view our full range of funeral packages in Singapore to see how each one is put together.
The clearest sign of a trustworthy package is that it covers the whole journey, not just the parts that are easy to price. When you compare options, check that each of the following is written in.
When all of these are stated plainly in the package, you are far less likely to meet a charge you did not expect.
No two farewells look the same, and a good package reflects that. Much of the difference comes down to religious tradition and to how many days the wake will run.
We arrange funerals for Buddhist, Taoist, Christian, Catholic, Soka and free thinker families, and each carries its own rites, chanting or prayers, altar setup and symbolism. A Taoist wake may call for specific priests and rituals across several evenings, while a Christian or Catholic farewell centres on prayer and a chapel or church service. A free thinker or non religious farewell can be shaped entirely around the family’s own wishes.
Wakes in Singapore commonly run for three, five or seven days, often guided by prayer cycles or by the time relatives need to travel home. More days mean more catering, longer tentage rental and additional nightly rites, so the length of the wake is one of the biggest factors in what a package finally comes to.
One of the first choices to make is whether the family wishes to hold a wake at all.
A direct cremation is a simple, quiet farewell without a formal wake. We collect your loved one, handle the permits and cremation, and return the ashes to you. It suits families who prefer privacy, whose relatives are overseas, or who feel a large gathering is not what their loved one would have wanted. Our direct funeral services begin from $1,400.

A full wake package provides the gathering many families find comforting, with days of visitation, prayers or rites, meals for guests and a formal farewell before the cremation. Our full wake packages start from $5,388 and can be tailored upward as customs require. Both paths are dignified in their own way. The right one depends on your family, not on what anyone else expects.
A little care at this stage saves a great deal of stress later. Before you commit, look for these signs of a fair and honest arrangement.
If you would like to understand the wider picture first, our overview of how much a funeral costs in Singapore sets out the typical ranges and what drives them.
When you call us, our team listens before we quote anything. We ask about your loved one’s faith, the customs that matter to your family and what you can comfortably spend, then we recommend the package that fits and explain every line of it. Nothing is added without your say, and we are just as glad to arrange a modest farewell as an elaborate one.
Because we run our own team and facilities, we can adjust the arrangement as circumstances change, whether that means adding a wake day, altering the rites or bringing the cremation forward. Our aim is a simple one: a farewell that honours your loved one and leaves your family with no regrets and no hidden costs.
A complete package covers collection of your loved one at any hour, embalming and preparation, the casket, the full wake setup, religious rites and clergy, the hearse and family transport, and the cremation or burial together with ash collection. Ask for this in writing so you can be sure nothing essential is missing.
Our direct cremation begins from $1,400 and our full wake packages start from $5,388. The final figure depends mainly on the number of wake days, the rites your faith calls for and the casket you choose. We always give you an itemised quote before you decide anything.
Yes. We arrange Buddhist, Taoist, Christian, Catholic, Soka and free thinker farewells, and every package can be shaped around the specific rites, prayers and symbols your family observes. Tell us your traditions and we will build the arrangement around them.
Straight away. Our hotline runs 24 hours, and once you call we can collect your loved one and begin arrangements without delay. If you are unsure what to do first, simply call and we will guide you calmly through each step.
A full Buddhist funeral with monks, chanting and the complete wake starts from $5,988 nett for three days, and from $6,988 for five days, all fully itemised.
A Taoist funeral starts from $8,888 nett for three days. It costs more than most other faiths because it involves more priests and a fuller set of rites across the wake.
Taoist rites call for more priests, longer ceremonies and additional rituals over the wake days, and that greater involvement is reflected in the package price.
