What to Think About When Engaging A Taoist Funeral Provider?

1. Do You Require Any Customisations?

If you have specific preferences on how the funeral should be held or additional requests in terms of facilities, we are happy to customise the arrangements to honour your loved one’s final wishes. Knowing these information beforehand will help us prepare efficiently to provide the best service possible.

2. Where Should The Wake Be Held?

Would you prefer the funeral to be closer to home, or at a parlour? While a funeral parlour is more presentable, hosting one at home provides convenience for the family. Void deck funeral services have also improved to give families the convenience while also providing the comfort and look of a parlour.

3. Where Should The Final Resting Place Be?

We can either choose to bury in a burial plot, or send our loved ones off via cremation. Loved ones that have been buried will eventually need to be exhumed depending on the lease of the land. The exhumed remains will then be cremated. We would have to decide what we would like to do with the ashes after the cremation. We can either inter the ashes in a niche or columbarium, or scatter the ashes at sea or land.

Taoist Funeral Services in Singapore

Taoism views life as a continuous cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. After death, the soul enters an in-between state before moving on to its next life. Taoist funeral rites help guide the soul through this transition, aiming for a smooth rebirth or spiritual advancement. Customs can differ by dialect group, including Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese, Hakka, and Hainanese.

At Solace Bereavement, our Taoist funeral package includes all essential services—covering pre-funeral setup, ceremonial rites, and post-funeral arrangements—to ensure a respectful and complete farewell.

Frequently Asked Questions For Taoist Funeral in Singapore

How much does a taoist funeral cost?

Taoist funeral packages can range from $7,000++ to upwards of $10,000. The cost varies depending on the scope of services, funeral facilities, and after-funeral costs.

Avoid bright colours such as red, yellow, or pink. Instead, opt for muted tones like black, white, or grey. Refrain from wearing clothing with flashy prints or revealing outfits, as these may be seen as disrespectful in a funeral setting.

Taoist funerals typically involve chanting and rituals led by Taoist priests in the deceased’s native dialect, along with the burning of paper offerings. These practices are meant to guide the soul and ensure a smooth and peaceful transition into the next life.

It is a respectful gesture to give according to your financial means. However, if you’re unable to contribute financially, there are other meaningful ways to show support, such as sending flowers or offering help with funeral arrangements whenever possible.

What are taoist funeral offerings?

Taoist funeral offerings often include joss sticks, candles, fruits, and joss paper, placed on the altar to honour the deceased. Families may also include personal items or symbolic offerings. Paper replicas of daily necessities, such as clothes, money, or even house are commonly burned to provide for the departed in the next world.

It is believed that the spirit of the deceased returns home on the seventh day after death, a tradition known as “Tou Qi” (头七), or the “return of the dead.” To honour this, families may place a red plaque outside their home, stay indoors, and sprinkle flour or talcum powder on the floor to look for signs of the spirit’s visit.

In Singapore, a Taoist funeral procession is typically held at either a funeral parlour or the HDB void deck. The duration of the wake usually ranges from 3 to 7 days, depending on the family’s preferences and religious customs.

The casket is often the most expensive component of a Taoist funeral. Its cost depends on factors such as material, design, ornaments & finish.

For a more budget-friendly option, families may choose a simple casket with a basic design and a viewing glass.
