The listing is KakiList-verified, confirming that operating details and contact channels have been checked by a real person.

Families typically begin by contacting Singapore Obituary by phone or through the enquiry form, particularly given the time-sensitive nature of funeral arrangements. The process usually involves confirming the deceased's religion and cultural tradition, which shapes the format — Buddhist, Taoist, Christian, Hindu, or free-thinker services each follow different rites and durations. Key decisions include wake venue (void deck, funeral parlour, or home), duration of wake (typically two to four nights), casket selection, floral arrangements, hearse, and paperwork such as the death certificate and burial or cremation permit issued by the National Environment Agency (NEA). Families should also clarify whether the provider handles the full end-to-end process or coordinates with third parties for specific components such as cremation or burial at Choa Chu Kang Cemetery.
To begin, contact Singapore Obituary directly by phone for immediate assistance, or submit an enquiry through the online form to request a detailed quotation and discuss the family's requirements.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Indren and the entire team for conducting my father’s final rites with such care and professionalism. All logistics were handled smoothly, and the team respected our instructions on how my father should be presented at his funeral with great attention to detail. Everything was managed seamlessly, without any hiccups, which gave our family much peace of mind during a very difficult time. A special thank you goes to Joel for his prompt responses, patient coordination, and support in accommodating multiple last-minute requests. We truly appreciate that he even checked in after the funeral to ensure everything was in order. Room for improvement would be in the ritual portion and the itinerary for the days, which could be more detailed and regularly updated to keep the family informed. Overall we are satisfied with your service and support. Thank you Singapore casket 🙏

A huge thank you to Ms. Ellaine Chai and her team. To mention Anthony, Aru,Joshua, TP, Jaya, KK, As our case was extra special, no embalming involved, they did their best for the family to let us view him one last time before sealing the casket. Everything was handled smoothly and with care, and it really helped take a load off our minds during a tough time. The staff were respectful, patient, and professional throughout, Especially Ms. Ellaine, the Funeral director who made sure everything runs smoothly from start to end. I even had to call her in the middle of the night and that she was prompt in attending the issue. The wake was held at our residence and that they set it up beautifully. I know my husband would have been proud of what the team has done. It felt like he was already in paradise. Flowers filled our house until the garage. We truly appreciate the support and service Ms Ellaine, Anthony and her team have provided.

We are truly grateful for the support and professionalism shown by our funeral advisor - Ms Elaine Chai during my dad’s final journey. From the very beginning, she was respectful, patient, and incredibly well-organized. She guided us through every step and took care of all the arrangements seamlessly, allowing our family to focus on remembering and honoring my dad without having to worry about the administrative details. During such a difficult time, her calm presence and attention to detail meant a lot to us. Thank you for helping us give my dad a dignified and meaningful farewell.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the excellent service and care provided by Singapore Casket. We wish to especially commend CYRUS KOH for his professionalism and support. He was highly knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything to us clearly and patiently. When we were uncertain about some decisions, he provided thoughtful recommendations that ultimately worked out very well for us. Throughout the three days, he regularly checked on us, making sure everything was alright and that we were coping. My family and I are deeply grateful for the compassion and care shown to us during this difficult time. Here are some additional comments from my family members. The Regency Room exceeded our expectations. Its soothing pastel-coloured interior created a dignified and comforting environment for visitors to pay their respects. Many guests felt at ease and stayed longer to spend time with the family. The complimentary hot drinks machine and box of cakes were thoughtful gestures that were very much appreciated. The provision of a safe for condolence monetary gifts was also practical and reassuring. Additional chairs were promptly arranged upon request for the Memorial Service. The transition to Mandai Crematorium was smooth and well-coordinated. The staff, led by Aru, guided us professionally through every stage — from the photo-taking session before departure to the final service and cremation. The ash scattering session at the Garden of Peace was also conducted seamlessly, with clear guidance from Ben. We are grateful for the professionalism and care shown throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Singapore Obituary charge?›
Singapore Obituary is priced at a mid-range tier ($$), but specific package figures were not available at the time of listing. Funeral costs in Singapore typically range from S$2,000–4,000 for a basic arrangement to S$8,000–20,000 or more for a full multi-night wake with premium casket, floral arrangements, and catering. Key cost components to confirm in writing include: the base funeral package, casket or urn selection, hearse, number of wake nights, tentage or parlour venue hire, catering, and NEA permit and cremation or burial fees, which are billed separately by the government. Ask whether GST applies to any components. Contact Singapore Obituary directly for a full itemised quotation.
Live-in or visit-based — which does Singapore Obituary offer?›
Singapore Obituary is categorised under funeral services rather than ongoing home care, so live-in and visit-based care arrangements are not part of its offering. The service covers funeral and wake coordination, typically across a two-to-four-night period from the time of passing through to the cremation or burial. Families needing ongoing eldercare support — such as home nursing visits, live-in caregivers, or day rehabilitation centre placement — should contact separate AIC-registered or MOH-licensed eldercare providers. Singapore Obituary's scope begins at end-of-life and covers the funeral, documentation, and ceremonial arrangements.
Is the caregiver trained and insured?›
Singapore Obituary is a funeral services provider; the relevant question is whether its funeral directors and support staff are experienced and whether the operation holds appropriate business registration. No regulatory licences were listed for this provider at the time of listing, and ACRA registration has not been confirmed — families should ask directly about the company's registration status and professional accreditations before engaging. The provider holds a strong 4.9/5 rating across 931 Google reviews, which is a meaningful signal of consistent service quality. As a practical step, confirm the full scope of services, any third-party contractors involved, and the payment and refund policy in writing before making any payment. Insist on a trial period and put the care plan, hours, and rate in writing.
