HappyWanderer
Our family is deeply grateful to The Life Celebrant team for their professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail. From the first moment, they guided us gently through every step and filled in the blanks when we had no idea what to do. They anticipated needs we didn’t think of, and created a farewell that was not only dignified, but also deeply meaningful and healing.
Special mention to Ms Michelle Koh, Ms Jamie, JK and the team — your kindness and respect made a very difficult time much lighter to bear. Thank you, TLC.
A Journey of Love and Remembrance
We assist with every element of the burial process — from selecting a casket and arranging the burial ceremony to liaising with Choa Chu Kang Cemetery and helping your family choose a tombstone design that honours your loved one's memory with grace.
Every detail is handled with warmth and deep respect, so that you can focus entirely on being present with the people you love.
A Choice Guided by Comfort
The decision to choose burial over cremation is entirely your own, and we will never seek to influence it. Whether it is a choice your loved one made before they passed, a family tradition, or a matter of faith, we are here to ensure that your family's wishes are honoured with care and without judgement. Our team will walk you through the process at whatever pace feels right.
Understanding Burial in Singapore: The 15-Year Lease
It is important for families to understand that burial plots at Choa Chu Kang Cemetery in Singapore are granted on a 15-year lease. After this period, the grave will be exhumed by the relevant authorities. At the point of exhumation, families may choose to have the remains cremated, with ashes then placed in a columbarium, scattered at sea, or kept through one of our Eternal Embrace memorial keepsakes.
TLC is here to support your family through the exhumation process when the time comes, and to help you plan for what follows with sensitivity and care.
