Arrangements When Your Loved One Arrives in Philippines
We coordinate with receiving funeral homes across the Philippines — from Manila and Cebu to Davao and Clark — who handle Philippine customs clearance and arrange onward transport to the family's province. As a predominantly Catholic country, many Filipino families require a memorial mass and traditional wake at the destination; we coordinate with receiving providers who accommodate these traditions.
Airports / cities we serve

Families may arrange a wake at our Sin Ming Funeral Parlour before international repatriation.
Explore Wake & Repatriation →Understanding Funeral Arrangements in Philippines
The Philippines is a predominantly Catholic country, and many Filipino families require a memorial mass, traditional wake (lamay), and burial rather than cremation. We coordinate with receiving funeral homes who accommodate Catholic traditions including the nine-day novena (pasiyam) and final blessing. For Filipino-Muslim families in Mindanao, Islamic burial traditions including Ghusl and prompt burial are respected. For Iglesia ni Cristo and other Christian denominations, we accommodate their specific practices. We coordinate sensitively with receiving funeral homes across all traditions.
Language & Translation Support
Our team provides English-language coordination, which is widely understood in the Philippines. For Tagalog, Cebuano, Ilocano, or regional dialect communication, we coordinate through the Philippine Embassy and appointed funeral homes in the destination province.
