Funeral services: say what exactly you’re looking for

Funeral services in Singapore

Updated 4 November 2026

In Singapore, direct cremation without a wake starts at about S$1,100 to S$1,400, while a standard funeral service usually costs between S$5,500 and S$8,000. Packages differ in what they include, so ask for an itemised quote. To see what local providers offer now, send a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Booking and documents

To book a slot, the National Environment Agency (NEA) asks for the NRIC of the applicant and of the next-of-kin, the digital death certificate and the Permit to Bury or Cremate. Have these ready so the arrangements can move quickly, and ask the provider which of them they will handle for you.

Package prices and GST

Some packages show a price before GST and the total with GST added. A one-day standard care service, for example, is listed at S$5,903 before GST, or S$6,434.27 with GST at 9%. Ask which figure you are quoted, and whether a wake venue such as an HDB void deck or a multi-purpose hall is included, since a hall adds to the price.

Timing and the climate

Singapore is hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer, so the weather does not decide when a funeral is held. Timing depends on the family's arrangements and the booking slot. If the wake is outdoors or in a void deck, ask how the provider plans for rain on the day.

What to put in your request

Name the religion or tradition, the number of days of the wake, the venue, and whether you want a casket or a cremation only. Say which district the service will be held in, so providers can quote for travel. Cities such as Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands and Ang Mo Kio are all covered by sellers in the same way.
