Comparing 3-Day vs 5-Day Funeral Packages in Singapore

Aspect 3-Day Package 5-Day Package
Duration Shorter wake, usually from evening of Day 1 to afternoon of Day 3. Extended wake, from evening of Day 1 to afternoon of Day 5.
When Families Choose When relatives have limited time, or for simpler/freethinker funerals. When visitors are arriving from overseas, or for Buddhist/Soka traditions with more chanting/rituals.
Logistics Lower tentage, catering, and manpower costs. More coordination for floral work, night-watch staff, and AV setup.
Atmosphere Concise, focused time for mourning and remembrance. Allows extended community and relatives to pay respects.

What’s Included in SFC Packages

  • Casket & Preparation — professional embalming, dressing, and makeup.
  • Wake Setup — tentage, tables, chairs, lighting, sound system.
  • Floral Arrangements — altar flowers, photo frame, and fresh décor.
  • Funeral Montage & 55″ TV — complimentary video tribute at no extra cost (learn more).
  • Religious Ritual Support — priests, pastors, or chant leaders arranged as required.
  • Logistics — transport, hearse, ash collection, sea burial or columbarium booking.

Which Should You Choose?

Ultimately, the choice between 3-Day vs 5-Day Funeral Packages in Singapore depends on:

  • Religious Traditions — Soka Buddhists and some Hindu families prefer longer wakes for prayers and chanting.
  • Family & Visitor Needs — If many overseas relatives are arriving, 5 days allow more time.
  • Budget — 3-day packages are more affordable, while 5-day packages involve higher tentage and manpower.
