(A bilingual notice is included as standard with both wake packages.)

Why families choose Farewell Funerals
Package prices across Singapore funeral providers tend to sit in a similar range — so price alone rarely tells you who's right for your family. What matters more is the funeral director guiding you through it: someone you feel comfortable with, who explains each step clearly and is reachable when you need them. We welcome you to reach out for a no-obligation discovery call with us.

Buddhist funeral package FAQs
What's the difference between the Buddhist Funeral Package and Direct Cremation?
The Buddhist Funeral Package includes a full wake with embalming, a coffin, Buddhist altar setup and monk chanting on three days. Direct Cremation has no wake — it covers collection, a coffin, and sending the deceased to the crematorium or burial ground, with a monk available on request.
Can I add a monk to a Direct Cremation?
Yes. A monk can be arranged on request for families choosing Direct Cremation who still want a Buddhist blessing performed, even without a full wake.
How much does a Buddhist funeral cost in Singapore?
Our Buddhist Funeral Package is priced at $4,680, all-inclusive, for a wake at a parlour or home. A Void Deck Buddhist Funeral is priced at $5,280, all-inclusive, including tentage and town council coordination. Direct Cremation starts at $1,380, with a monk and bilingual notice available on request.
How much does a void deck Buddhist funeral cost?

Direct Cremation covers collection of the deceased and transfer to the crematorium or burial ground as standard. The Mercedes limousine hearse is included with our Buddhist Funeral Package and Void Deck Buddhist Funeral Package.
