Cremation: A Review
One might be confused when making decisions about funeral processes one knows very little about.
Though one might not understand the precise workings of progressing through conventional funeral processes, one might imagine, visualize the process easily.
This does not apply to processes of cremation.
Notwithstanding the age-old practical history of cremation (approximately 2,000 years), cremation practices still remain shrouded with secrecy, mystery, concealment.
This owes to many being unable to witness concealed procedures.
Knowing how cremation proceeds could potentially reduce stress, jitters that most families experience over general cremation procedures.
Presently, contemporary crematories employ Industrial Furnaces crafted specifically to cremate.
Cremation procedures stretch over 2-3 hours to fulfil.
Through cremation procedures, each assigned crematory would do their utmost to ensure that:
Careful identification of the deceased is undertaken.
Crematory operations are safe.
The deceased is treated with decency, respect, care.
Cremation facilities permit familial members of the deceased to view cremation procedures.
Space usually remains limited; hence it is advisable for one to double check with cremation facility operators on the visitor numbers permitted during cremation.

Thank you for helping us through the process from beginning to end. We were not prepared for my father’s death. We appreciate all the support from the entire staff. Your knowledge and expertise helped make the process feel not so overwhelming. From Chong family |
| Review 2 | Thank you John , Vincent and staffs of A.life grad for doing such a serene and peaceful buddism funeral for my PoPo.

| Review 3 | On behalf of the Koh’s & our extended family, I would like to sincerely thank all dedicated staff of A.Life Grad Funeral Services LLP for providing us with an excellent one-stop professional service arrangement for our mother/grandmother/great grandmother’s funeral.Special thanks must be accorded to Mr John Pang (Funeral Advisor) for his dedicated service in advising and coordinating all the numerous complex tasks at different stages of the wake for us. Without him, we would have been at a total lost right from the start. All these services were painstakingly explained to us in detail, whenever we were in doubt at the funeral site by John. John and team made decision-making so much easier and attended to all the details, so that we could fully focus on receiving our relatives and friends during the duration of the wake & prayer session, in memory of our dear mother/grandmother/great grandmother.
Losing someone who was extremely close and dear to us was extremely heart-wrenching. John and his team were very genuine in providing a professional and personalised service – They were very attentive and sensitive to our needs and could empathise with us during our time of grief. The wake set up was nicely decorated and exuded a serene atmosphere. Relatives & friends from different religious groups complimented that it projected a sense of peacefulness. The tables were pleasantly decorated with skirting and pots of flowers. This took many of us by surprise. There were even two dedicated service staff who assisted to clear and serve drinks on a daily basis. John and his team had definitely projected a professional image for the funeral service industry. It was neither cold nor morbid. Through their warm actions, they were able to empathise and understand our loss. The serene setting erased the morbid nature of death. I strongly recommend Mr John Pang and his team from A.Life Grad Funeral Services LLP for their professional one-stop funeral service. Many friends and relatives also asked us for your contact. |

| Review 1 | Singapore casket offers an amazing variety of options that caters to people with different budgets. I am very amazed at how transparent their pricing is 🙂 Their advisor Sky and Kenneth were very informative and clear with regards to the selection of the package and coffin. They were also very friendly, warm and helpful, always going the extra mile to ensure we are comfortable. I must say the alter decor known as “Sky garden” was impressive and unforgettable. The plants and flowers made the alter feel peaceful. Our friends and family were in awe when they saw the alter. They said that it looked just like a garden. Their parlour looks grand and well kept with a cozy touch to it. Safety measures to prevent Covid were also top notch.
Thank you once again for helping give our loved one such an unforgettable journey and thank you for going out of your way to comfort us in our time of grief. From the Yap family, a huge Thank you to Singapore casket. |
| Review 2 | My family held my late grandmother’s wake at Singapore Casket and we were impressed by the service provided. All the staff were polite and knowledgeable, which relieved a good deal of stress for us as we are not very well versed in funeral traditions.
My grandmother’s wake was held in the Sapphire Hall which was well appointed and comfortable. Everything went very smoothly, including the sea burial of my grandmother’s ashes which was arrange by Singapore Casket as well. Singapore Casket is not a very cheap option but the charges were reasonable and not exorbitant. We’d like to thank Singapore Casket from the bottom of our hearts for helping us send my grandmother off on her last journey. |

| Review 1 | Very thankful for Ang Brothers’ (esp Casper and Caleb) guidance and services throughout the past 5 days when my dad passed away. Casper went through with me in details what I should do and what to expect. Their service was professional and prompt – they arrived at my place even before I reached from the police station! The price for the Free Thinker package was very reasonable. My relatives were all surprised by both the price and the the services it covered. And they specifically liked the deco and peaceful ambience of the wake. In summary, my family did not have to worry anything from start till the end of the funeral. Thank you. |
| Review 2 | I first contacted Ang Brothers at 5+am in the morning when we received news of my father-in-law’s passing overseas. As repatriation of remains from overseas during this Covid-19 period is quite tricky, I called a few funeral service providers to get advice on this matter. Casper from Ang Bros was the most clear and steady in his advice, with good subject knowledge and a sureness in his voice even at 5+am in the morning, which is reassuring during such situations. The choice of which funeral service to engage from that point was quite clear. |
| Review 3 | I recently engaged the services of Ang Brothers Funeral to host a buddhist funeral service. The ceremony was well carried out. Staffs were friendly and accommodating to our requests. Pricing was made transparent to us right from the start. Thumbs up for the good work. Strongly recommend to anyone in need. Through the entire process, communication was prompt, clear and easy, with Casper being flexible, helpful and able to cater to all our needs and requests. They were up to date with their setup options being modern and subtly pleasant. Their pricing is also transparent, very reasonable and provide good value.
Thanks Ang Brothers and Casper for all the invaluable help and assistance through this difficult situation!

| Review 1 | Recommended by my relatives as they had engaged them before. Not the pushy sales kind. Give us the time to think and consider. Something worth highlighting is that they will work out a plan to make sure that we do not go over our budget.
Very friendly team formed up by a few young adults. Setup was simple, yet elegant. Simply amazed that they can arrange fresh flowers setup in such a short period of time. Service was very close to heart, especially on the funeral day, where by the emcee read a script that was truly what we want to express for our mum. Although they they might be young. But definitely a very experienced team. Thank you Singapore Funeral Group once again. |
| Review 2 | Thank you to the wonderful team. I’m glad we have chosen the right company to lead the last journey for my beloved dad. They gave us advices on what to do and etc, knowing I can’t hear, they really tried their best to ensure that I understand the whole process and what I was supposed to do. Everything including the set up and process were well managed. We are really thankful especially to the emcee, whom really spoke all the feelings from our hearts. They did a great job! Thank you to the team once again! |

Bus 149 and bus 172 can be taken to get there. However, as the place can be pretty secluded, it is a good idea for us to bring more people to help with the visiting. And the toilet is very clean which is surprising, and the vending machine over there is well-stocked. the scenery is very quiet you could go for walks after you were done with business. |
