What Is Direct Cremation?

Direct cremation is a funeral arrangement in which the deceased is cremated without a traditional multi-day wake. It may suit families who prefer a simpler farewell or wish to organise a separate remembrance gathering later.

The arrangements still include care of the deceased, a casket, transportation, cremation coordination and funeral director assistance.

Direct Cremation Compared with a Traditional Funeral Wake

A traditional funeral wake may involve several days of venue arrangements, visitor facilities, religious ceremonies, floral displays and refreshments. Direct cremation focuses on the arrangements required for cremation without holding a multi-day wake.

The two options involve different services. Families should choose according to their wishes, beliefs and preferred farewell, as well as their budget.

• Direct cremation: A simpler arrangement without a traditional multi-day wake. Our package costs $1,100 in total.
• Funeral with a wake: Arrangements vary according to the wake duration, venue, religious requirements and selected services. Request a quotation for your requirements.

How to Compare Direct Cremation Quotations

When comparing providers, check the full quotation rather than the advertised price alone. Ask whether it includes:

• Collection and transportation of the deceased
• Preparation, cleansing and dressing
• The casket
• Cremation booking and cremation fees
• Funeral director assistance
• Funeral-day manpower and casket bearers
• Ash collection
• GST, where applicable
• Any additional charges

Compare quotations for the same services so that differences are clear. Singapore Funeral Committee’s package includes the services listed above at a total price of $1,100, with no GST or additional charges for the package.

What Happens After Cremation?

Our package includes ash collection. Your family can discuss your wishes for the ashes with our funeral director and ask for guidance on the next steps.
