What to expect for a Catholic Funeral Service in Singapore
For Roman Catholics, life does not end with death. At the end of their life journey, a funeral is held by the Catholic community to commemorate their time with us on Earth, before they rejoin God in Heaven. In Singapore, a Funeral Mass (Requiem Mass) is held at their parish church.
Before the Funeral Mass, a wake is held for family and friends to come together and pray for the soul of the departed. Catholic funeral wakes in Singapore can be held at a funeral parlour, a void deck, in the home, or at church.
During the Vigil service, prayers and words of support are offered to help ease the loss. The Divine Mercy Chaplet and recitation of the Rosary may be accompanied by other passages from the Holy Bible to intercede for the soul of the dearly-departed to be granted eternal rest.
Funerals are often a time of distress, and the necessary arrangements for a proper Catholic funeral service can be overwhelming. TLC understands this, and is here to help all in need.
Funeral services for Roman Catholics can last up to three days in Singapore, and can be broken down into four parts:
The Rite of Committal is the last process in a Roman Catholic funeral service. There are two options — burial or cremation — available to Roman Catholics. If cremation is chosen, Catholics believe that all the remains of the departed should be interred in one place.
