Should You Pre-arrange Funeral Services Singapore?

By Helen Marquez


When a loved one dies, it is natural for loved ones to feel overwhelmed by grief, especially if the death comes at an unforeseen instance. During these cases, grieving families find it very difficult to cope with their grief while assuring that funeral and burial arrangements are made smoothly. This is why lots of families have, over the years, opted for pre-arranged funeral services.

The question however is this: why should families sign up for pre-arranged funeral services? Are these absolutely needed, or are they unnecessarily preemptive?

Before anything else, you need to know what exactly is included in a pre-arranged funeral service. This kind of funeral service in Singapore is made available so that families can make funeral arrangements without the overwhelming emotion, but this does not mean it is anticipatory. After all, death is unpredictable but no less preventable, so families whose loved one is too ill or old may choose to pre-arrange certain services early on.

In terms of pre-arranged funeral services Singapore has a variety of options courtesy of its various funeral parlours. Naturally, the range of services for pre-arranged packages will vary from one service provider to another. There is, on the other hand, one crucial consideration which all providers must practise: confidentiality.

The family can arrange earlier for a casket, the funeral parlour (including chairs as well as tables), and snacks during the funeral. They can also arrange for flowers and wreaths, both for the funeral as well as for the burial; other peripheral funeral supplies; an urn in case of cremation; as well as special arrangements for sea burials. Food and beverage served during the burial are also open for pre-arrangement, along with the transport options for mourners to and from the funeral parlour and the burial area.

These particulars will prove doubly burdensome for families if they will still have to arrange them while they are overwhelmed with emotion after the death of their loved one. This is particularly so for individuals who will need to single-handedly supervise all preparations from the casket to the food to the burial to the flowers. This is why a lot of families have found comfort in pre-arranging some crucial services, as this is supposed to someway reduce the burden and allow them to deal with their grief better.
