Understanding Buddhist Funeral Rites in Singapore

Buddhist funerals in Singapore are deeply rooted in the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, emphasising the cycle of rebirth and the attainment of Nirvana. The funeral ceremony is a sacred occasion where family and friends gather to pay respects, offer prayers, and support the departed on their journey toward a favourable rebirth.

At Eternal Horizon, we work closely with families to ensure that Buddhist funeral rites are conducted according to tradition. This includes coordinating with Buddhist monks or nuns for chanting sessions during encoffinment, the final night, and the funeral day. Our team handles all logistical aspects — from NEA permits to cremation arrangements at Mandai Crematorium — so families can focus on prayer and remembrance.

What's Included in Our Buddhist Funeral Package

Our Buddhist funeral package is comprehensive and transparent. It includes first-call collection of your loved one within one hour, application of cremation or burial permits, a premium casket with viewing panel, professional embalming with showering and dressing, Buddhist chanting rituals, funeral necessities and sacrificial food offerings, a paper house with paper clothes chest, table flowers and a floral enlarged photo, and a 43-seater bus for mourners.

For void deck setups, we provide professional tentage with VIP decor including table cloths and seat covers, mobile toilet facilities, and refrigerator rental. For parlour setups at Sin Ming Funeral Parlour, families enjoy air-conditioned comfort with 24-hour access and overnight stay facilities.

  • First-call collection — within 1 hour, 24/7
  • NEA-licensed embalming with showering and dressing
  • Premium casket with viewing panel
  • Buddhist chanting rituals — encoffinment, final night, funeral day

Buddhist Cremation at Mandai Crematorium

Most Buddhist families in Singapore choose cremation, which is conducted at Mandai Crematorium and Columbarium. Our team handles all cremation permit applications, scheduling, and ash collection services. After cremation, families may choose to store ashes in a niche at Mandai, scatter ashes at the inland ash scattering facility, or arrange for a sea burial.

We also offer 49-day spirit resting (安灵) services at Sin Ming Funeral Parlour for families who wish to observe the traditional Buddhist mourning period. Our team can coordinate with your temple or spiritual advisor to ensure all rites are performed correctly.

How much does a Buddhist funeral cost in Singapore?
Our Buddhist funeral packages are $8,588 nett (no GST) for a void deck setup and $8,808 for a Sin Ming Funeral Parlour setup (3 days, 2 nights). This includes chanting rituals, premium casket, embalming, cremation fees, and all essential items.
Do you arrange Buddhist monks for chanting?
Yes, we coordinate with Buddhist monks and nuns for chanting sessions during encoffinment, the final night, and the funeral day. We work with temples across Singapore and can accommodate specific traditions.
Can we hold a Buddhist funeral at an HDB void deck?
Yes, we provide full void deck setup including professional tentage with VIP decor, mobile toilet, refrigerator, and all necessary facilities. We handle all HDB and NEA permit applications.
What happens after cremation?
After cremation at Mandai, we provide ash collection assistance. Families can choose to store ashes in a niche, scatter them at the inland ash scattering facility, or arrange a sea burial. We can also facilitate 49-day spirit resting at Sin Ming Funeral Parlour.
How long is a Buddhist funeral wake in Singapore?
A standard Buddhist funeral wake in Singapore runs for 3 days and 2 nights. The first day involves encoffinment and the initial chanting session, the second day is the main wake with family and friends visiting, and the third day is the funeral procession to Mandai Crematorium for cremation.
Can we customise the Buddhist funeral package?
Yes, our Funeral Arrangement Concierge allows you to customise every aspect — from casket selection to additional chanting sessions, paper offerings, and 49-day spirit resting at Sin Ming Funeral Parlour. Optional add-ons include live streaming for family abroad and LED memorial screens.
Do you offer live streaming for the Buddhist funeral service?
Yes, we offer funeral live streaming so family members and friends who are overseas or unable to attend can participate in the chanting and ceremony remotely. We also provide LED memorial screens for displaying photos and tribute verses from Buddhist scriptures.
Is embalming required for a Buddhist funeral in Singapore?
While not legally mandatory for all cases, professional embalming is strongly recommended for health, hygiene, and presentation. For Buddhist funerals, embalming ensures your loved one is presented with dignity during the wake period — particularly important when family members visit over 3 days. NEA-licensed embalming is included in all our packages at no additional cost.
Can you arrange a sea burial after Buddhist cremation?
Yes, we can arrange sea burial after cremation at Mandai. In Buddhist tradition, sea burial symbolises a return to nature and the cycle of rebirth. We coordinate with the Maritime and Port Authority and charter a boat for the family.
What should we do immediately when a loved one passes away?
Call us immediately at +65 8111 1826. We are available 24/7. Our first-response team will collect your loved one, handle all NEA documentation and ICA death registration, and begin coordinating with your temple for chanting sessions.
