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 by morning. 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 three or four 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. Funeral Guru handles the introduction. Two teams then arrive at your wake: the funeral provider you chose, who runs the service, and your Funeral Guru Butler, who visits daily to cleanse the altar, top up incense and offerings, and act as your advocate if anything is missing.
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
Tell Us What You Need. We Call You Back Within 10 Minutes.
Leave your name and number on this page at any hour. Most families hear back from a human within 10 minutes, day or night. A Funeral Guru staff member will then meet you in person, at the hospital, at your home, or wherever is easiest. The form takes twenty seconds, that is all we need to start helping.
We Compare 3+ 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.
Two Teams Serve Your Family Until Cremation Day
The funeral provider you chose runs the wake. Your Funeral Guru Butler visits daily to cleanse the altar, replenish incense and offerings, and act as your representative if anything is missing. Our involvement ends on cremation day, though we remain available for any administrative help thereafter 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, one to two 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 $5,988 for a 3-day service and $6,688 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.
What is the Funeral Guru Butler?
Your Funeral Guru Butler is a dedicated staff member assigned to your wake. They visit daily to cleanse the altar, replenish incense and offerings, and act as your representative if anything from the provider is missing or unclear. This service is included in your engagement with us at no charge.
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. Leave your details on this page any time and we respond within 10 minutes. Most families contact us within hours of a passing, and we will meet you wherever is most convenient.
Do you serve families with financial difficulties?
Yes. Funeral Guru offers pro-bono funeral arrangements for families facing financial hardship, in partnership with hospices, social workers and family service centres. We also offer a $500 rebate to the next-of-kin of any serving or retired civil servant as part of our community programme. Speak to our staff to discuss eligibility.
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.
