A brief about Buddhist and Taoist Funeral services Services in Singapore

 Buddhist funeral services in Singapore follow traditional Buddhist customs and beliefs, including offerings of incense and food to the deceased, recitation of sutras and prayers, and cremation of the body. The service is usually conducted by a monk or nun and attended by the deceased's family and friends.
Taoist funeral services in Singapore, on the other hand, are influenced by traditional Chinese beliefs and practices, and often involve a procession to the crematorium, offerings of food and paper money to the deceased, and the burning of incense and joss paper. The service is usually led by a Taoist priest and attended by the deceased's family and friends.
Both Buddhist and Taoist funeral services aim to bring comfort and closure to the bereaved and to guide the deceased's spirit toward a peaceful afterlife.

Buddhist Funeral Services

Based on the teachings of Shakyamuni that date back to the fifth century B.C. in India, Buddhist practices mainly operate on the concept of Karma.



The act of Chanting Sutras (Teachings of Buddha) is done for the enlightenment of all beings. This act is based on the idea of generating positive karma for the deceased and the living, and to seek for forgiveness and repentance for the evil deeds that may have been done. Nirvana funeral services providers can help lighten the negative karma of the deceased to ease their burden on their journey toward Paradise.

Taoist Funeral Services

Originating from China with the teachings of Lao Zi, believe in the balance of Yin and Yang. The rites and rituals performed depend on the dialect you belong to; and the deceased are liberated from their suffering and the living, are educated on the concept of filial piety. Filial piety is an act of virtue to respect and show gratitude to elders and loved ones.

 Paper products may be burnt as offerings and to signify returning of roots – going back to one’s ancestral roots.

 Nirvana's funeral process includes recognition, honour, and appreciation towards the deceased as a Chinese value of filial piety, after they have passed on. Contact Nirvana Memorial Garden for the best funeral packages.
