What licence should a funeral director have?

  • Funeral parlour licence (embalming facilities)

    National Environment Agency (NEA) · Required by law

    Funeral parlours with embalming facilities are licensed by NEA; NEA lists licensed parlours on its Arranging a Funeral page.

    Check the official register
  • Town Council permit for a void deck wake

    Town Council · Required by law

    Wakes at Town Council-managed void decks need a permit from the Town Council; using adjacent surface car park lots needs a separate HDB application.

How to choose a funeral director

  • Ask for an itemised quote listing casket, embalming, wake setup and tentage, hearse, religious rites, cremation or burial and niche fees, and compare like for like.
  • Engaging a funeral director is optional. Many families use one to apply for the Permit to Bury/Cremate and book a slot through NEA's ePortal.
  • Check whether the quote includes GST. One void-deck package quoted at about $5,838 before GST came to about $6,364 nett.
  • Plan the wake length: wakes held more than seven days after death need NEA's prior written permission.
  • For ash scattering at sea, NEA charges nothing, but private boat operators typically charge about $280–1,500 for the trip.

Red flags

  • A package price with no itemised breakdown, or extra charges appearing after the wake starts.
  • Pressure to upgrade the casket or rites while the family is grieving.
  • No mention of the Town Council permit for a void-deck wake.

Questions to ask before you book

  • What exactly is in the package, and is the price before or after GST?
  • Will you apply for the Permit to Bury/Cremate and book the cremation slot?
  • Who arranges the Town Council permit for the void deck?
  • What extra items commonly add to the final bill?

Questions about funeral services in Singapore

How much does a funeral cost in Singapore?

Based on 2026 market quotes, full packages with a wake cost about $1,500–3,000 for Muslim funerals, $4,000–5,500 for non-religious, $4,800–8,500 for Christian or Catholic, $5,900–8,000 for Buddhist and $8,000–15,000+ for Taoist rites. Direct cremation without a wake costs about $1,300–2,500. NEA's cremation fee itself is only $100 for an adult.

Do I need a permit to hold a wake at a void deck?

Yes. For a Town Council-managed void deck you need a permit from your Town Council, and using nearby surface car park lots needs a separate application to HDB. Wakes on private property or State land may need a Temporary Occupation Licence. A wake beyond seven days after death needs NEA's prior written permission.

How much is a columbarium niche in Singapore?

At NEA-managed columbaria, a standard niche for about two urns costs $500 and a family niche for about four urns $900, with a $250 fee if you choose a specific location. Private columbaria charge far more, typically $8,000–24,000 or more at places such as Nirvana.

Can ashes be scattered at sea in Singapore?

Yes. Ashes may be scattered at NEA's designated site about 2.8km south of Pulau Semakau, between 7am and 7pm, with only biodegradable items. NEA does not charge for this, but a private boat operator typically costs $280–1,500. Inland scattering at the Garden of Peace costs $320.

How long can a burial plot be kept in Singapore?

Under NEA's burial policy, all graves are limited to 15 years, after which they are exhumed. A government burial plot at Choa Chu Kang Cemetery costs $940 for citizens and PRs aged 10 and above, $420 for a child under 10, and $1,880 for non-residents.
