Angel Star 天使心 is a specialised service dedicated to the little ones who leave us too early. We are committed to working closely with parents to create a thematic funeral of their child’s favourite things, complete with balloons, photographs (if the parents desire) and precious personal items. Our Funeral Directors understand that the loss of a beloved baby, infant or child is one of the most heartbreaking moments any parent could experience, and we are dedicated to carrying out your requests with compassion and respect. |

In the early days, it was considered taboo to conduct funerals for babies or children. A child’s death was often handled swiftly and silently, and family members were not given a chance to grieve properly. However, in today’s society, where people are more educated and open-minded, we understand the importance of having a proper farewell ceremony for little ones who have gone too early.

Angel Star involves us working closely with hospitals and clinics in Singapore, giving bereaved parents a chance to send off their child with dignified farewell ceremonies in special caskets and themes catered to them.

Though the time they spent here with us is short, their absence is heart-wrenching for those who loved them throughout their short lives. That is why we like to say - it’s not about the days in our lives, it’s about the life in our days. Their lives may have been short, but it was infinitely impactful. Thus, we aim to commemorate the milestones in the baby or child’s life, however short it might have been. This would hopefully help the family as they journey on the |
