Direct Cremation Funeral Package
Direct Funeral Services in Singapore - Memorial Funeral Group
A direct funeral is a no-fuss, straightforward funeral option that involves cremation or burial without a formal service or viewing. It allows families to handle final arrangements in a dignified yet cost-effective manner.
What is Direct Cremation & Why Families Are Choosing It
A simple and straightforward process, direct cremation is where the deceased is cremated without the inclusion of traditional funeral services. This option is focused on providing a respectful and efficient solution which allows families to make arrangements according to their personal preferences at a later time.
Different from the traditional funeral services which usually involves multiple complex arrangements, direct cremation offers a more streamlined process. There are no formal gatherings or rituals, allowing the family to grieve privately and handle matters as they see fit.
One of the main reasons families are choosing to have a direct cremation in Singapore is due to its affordability. Without the need for additional services such as embalming or expensive caskets, it provides a more economical alternative. This simplicity also gives families the flexibility to plan memorials or other tributes at a time that is more convenient for them.
Our Direct Cremation Funeral Packages
For families who prefer to keep things simple, our direct cremation funeral package offers a dignified and straightforward send off for their loved one.
Direct cremation funerals are typically held on the same day or the following day upon the passing of a loved one, this is usually dependent on the availability of cremation slots at Mandai crematorium.
On the funeral day, the deceased would be accompanied by family to the crematorium, and a simple send-off ceremony would be conducted by the funeral director.
After cremation, the ashes are then interred into a columbarium.
Our direct cremation funeral packages start at $1,888. We also have packages that include chanting services at the crematorium, if required.
