Choosing a service
What kind of funeral?
Most directors offer both. Ask for a package that matches what the family wants.
Family wants a wake
Traditional funeral
A wake of a few days at a void deck, parlour or home, with religious rites, then cremation or burial. The director arranges the venue, permits and transport.
Directors with their own wake halls →Family wants something simple
Direct cremation
No wake. The director cares for the deceased, handles the permit and takes them to the crematorium at the booked time. Simpler, and usually the lowest cost.

Step by step
The first steps
- 1
Get the death certified
A doctor certifies and registers the death. Download the certificate from My Legacy within 30 days, and save a copy.
- 2
Call a funeral director
They collect the body, get the permit and set up the wake. It's fine to call two or three first.
- 3
Plan the wake
Choose the venue, how many days and the religious rites. Compare what each package includes.
- 4
Settle the estate
If there's a will, the executor applies for probate. If not, the family applies for letters of administration.
After the funeral
Sorting out the estate
To deal with most of what the person owned, someone usually needs the court's authority first. Some things pass outside the estate, and small estates have simpler routes.
- There's a will: the executor named in it applies for a Grant of Probate.
- There's no will: a family member applies for Letters of Administration, and the estate is shared under the intestacy rules.
- CPF savings don't pass under the will. They go to the people named in the CPF nomination.
- Small estates: the Public Trustee may handle estates worth up to S$50,000, and banks may deal directly with next of kin for accounts under S$5,000. Conditions apply.

Common questions
Questions families ask
Do we have to use a funeral director?
Not for every step: next of kin can, for example, apply for the permit to cremate or bury themselves on NEA's ePortal. In practice most families use a director, who collects and cares for the deceased, applies for the permit, sets up the wake and arranges transport. For Muslim funerals, a mosque or jenazah service often handles the arrangements.
How long is a wake?
Usually a few days, depending on religion, custom and family wishes. Some families choose a single day, or no wake at all with a direct cremation. A wake running more than seven days after the death needs NEA's written permission.
Can we hold the wake at our HDB void deck?
Yes, void deck wakes are common. Your funeral director arranges the booking with the Town Council and sets up the tentage, chairs and lighting.
How do we compare prices?
Ask each director what their package includes: casket, hearse, embalming, wake setup, food and drinks, and the permit. Packages that look cheap sometimes leave these out. We're adding checked package prices to each listing.
When do we need a probate lawyer?
Often, the person handling the estate needs a Grant of Probate (if there is a will) or Letters of Administration (if there isn't) before most assets can be dealt with. Some estates don't need one, for example small estates the Public Trustee handles. You can file yourself, or a lawyer can prepare and file it for you.
