As seen in
You are not alone
If You Are Reading This at 2am, You Are Not Alone
Most families who find this page are stunned. The phone has rung. The hospital wants the body moved at the soonest. Relatives expect plans by tomorrow. You have not slept. You have never planned a Buddhist wake before. And the funeral industry assumes you already know what to ask for. You do not, and that is normal.
Void deck or parlour. 3, 5 or 7 days. Casket type. Chanting hours. Cremation site. Niche placement. Each decision needs a phone call to a different vendor. You have not stopped crying long enough to make any of them.
One provider says $5,988. Another says $6,988. A third refuses to give a number until you visit in person. You suspect some are inflated, some are missing items, and none of them will explain the gap. You do not know who to believe.
A calmer way
What Getting the Right Help Actually Looks Like
You ring one number and reach a human who has guided hundreds of families through this. They listen first. They ask about your family's tradition, your timing, your budget, and what matters most to you. Then they show you Buddhist packages side by side. Each option lists a clear price, a clear set of inclusions, and an honest note on what is not included.
You choose the package that fits, and Funeral Guru takes it from there. We are reachable any hour of the day, we respond immediately, and we can have your funeral set up within the hour, so your family is never left waiting or wondering what to do next.
You pay the funeral provider once. You pay Funeral Guru nothing. That is how this works, every time.
Three simple steps
What to Expect When You Contact Funeral Guru
Call Us Immediately. We Answer Any Hour.
Call 8090 5777 at any hour and speak to a human straight away, day or night. A Funeral Guru staff member will then meet you in person, at the hospital, at your home, or wherever is easiest. There is no form to fill and no waiting for a callback, the moment you tap, you are speaking to us.
We Compare Buddhist Packages Side by Side
We present 3-day, 5-day and 7-day Buddhist options from our partner providers, each with full pricing, monk chanting arrangements, casket details, and venue choices (HDB void deck or funeral parlour). We tell you which provider best fits your family. You choose. We do not push.
We Set Up Within the Hour and Stay Until Cremation Day
Once you choose, we move fast: your wake can be set up within the hour. Funeral Guru manages the arrangement with your chosen provider daily, from start to end, at no extra cost to your family. Our involvement ends on cremation day, though we remain available for any administrative help afterwards at no charge.
Options we compare for you
Buddhist Funeral Service Options We Compare for You
Buddhist funerals in Singapore traditionally span three, five, or seven days. The right duration depends on your family's tradition, the schedule of relatives travelling in, and how much time you need for chanting and prayers. Below are the most common options our partner providers offer.
3-Day Buddhist Package
Suitable for families who prefer a shorter, more contained ceremony. Includes encoffin, monk chanting sessions, vegetarian altar offerings, void deck or parlour setup, and cremation arrangements at Mandai Crematorium.
5-Day Buddhist Package
The most common choice in Singapore. Allows extended visitation, additional chanting sessions, and a more unhurried schedule of family prayers.
7-Day Buddhist Package
For families who wish to observe the full traditional duration. Includes daily chanting, extended visitation, and the most complete schedule of Buddhist rites before cremation.
HDB Void Deck or Funeral Parlour
Both venue options are available across every package. Void deck wakes are more familiar to neighbours and relatives and typically cost less. Parlour wakes offer climate control, accessibility for elderly mourners, and longer hours.
Post-Funeral Support
First seven days observances, 49-day prayers, and annual Qing Ming can be discussed with your chosen provider after cremation day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Buddhist Funeral Services in Singapore
How much does a Buddhist funeral cost in Singapore?
Buddhist funeral packages from our partner providers typically start at $5,628 for a 3-day service and $6,328 for a 5-day service. The final cost depends on the venue (HDB void deck or funeral parlour), the casket chosen, the number of monk chanting sessions, and any optional rites. Funeral Guru shows you the full comparison upfront, so there are no surprises after the wake.
How long does a Buddhist funeral last?
Most Buddhist funerals in Singapore span three, five or seven days, followed by cremation. The wake includes daily prayers, monk chanting on key days, vegetarian offerings, and a final ceremony before cremation at Mandai Crematorium or another preferred site. The duration depends on family tradition, the schedule of relatives, and personal preference.
Is Funeral Guru really free for the family? It sounds too good to be true.
It is a fair question and we hear it often. Funeral Guru is a marketplace. When you choose a funeral provider through us, that provider pays us a finder's fee, the same way Property Guru is paid by property agents. You pay the provider their quoted price in writing. We do not add to that bill, ever. That is the only invoice you will receive from the whole arrangement, and you are welcome to ask the provider directly to confirm there is no markup.
Can I arrange a Buddhist funeral late at night or on a public holiday?
Yes. Our team is available 24 hours a day, every day of the year, including weekends and public holidays. Call us any time and we answer immediately. Most families contact us within hours of a passing, and we will meet you wherever is most convenient.
What if I do not know which Buddhist tradition my family follows?
That is more common than you might think, especially when the deceased was the last family member who actively practised. Our staff will help you work this out during the first call. We ask about temple affiliations, chanting preferences, dietary observances and prior funerals in the family. From there we match you to a partner provider. You will not be asked to figure it out on your own.
