What to expect for a Taoist Funeral Service in SingaporeGenerally, Taoist funeral arrangements in Singapore comprise three main elements: the encoffining ceremony carried out by Taoist priests, prayer services on the final night and the send-off on the final day. This may require a great deal of logistics preparation. Engaging an experienced funeral director will enable the bereaved family to focus on grieving.
During the wake, a portrait of the departed is placed in front of the casket, and family and friends can offer prayers and joss sticks at the altar. In Taoism, it is believed that items required during a person’s lifetime is also needed in the afterlife. Paper offerings like money, houses, electronic products and vehicles which are burnt are crucial elements of a Taoist funeral. Different Chinese dialect groups in Singapore have varying funeral traditions. We will work closely with families to cater our Taoist funeral services to specific needs. |
