Direct cremation in Singapore

A quiet, private cremation without a wake, for families who prefer simplicity — or a more affordable farewell — handled with the same care as any service we arrange.

The short answer

A direct cremation in Singapore from $1,400 is a cremation carried out without a wake or ceremony. Your loved one is collected, cared for and cremated with dignity, and the ashes are returned to the family. It is the most affordable option.

How a direct cremation works

  1. Collection. We collect your loved one and take them into our care, at any hour.
  2. Documents. We arrange the paperwork and cremation permit for you.
  3. The cremation. On the booked date, the cremation is carried out with care. A small number of family may attend, or leave it to us.
  4. The ashes. The ashes are returned to the family, for a columbarium niche, sea burial or scattering.

Who it suits

  • Families who prefer a quiet, private farewell without a public wake
  • Those honouring a loved one’s wish for simplicity
  • Families with relatives spread overseas who cannot gather
  • Anyone who needs a dignified option within a limited budget

A memorial gathering can still be held later, in your own time. See all options on our packages page.
