A farewell led with prayer, scripture, and song. We coordinate closely with your church and pastor to honour the life and faith of your loved one, handling every practical detail so your family can focus on remembrance and worship.
Christian funerals in Singapore are led by your church and pastor, with the funeral arrangements coordinated alongside them. At 1-Funeral Group, we handle every practical detail, venue setup, transportation, casket, paperwork, while working closely with your pastor on the order of service, hymns, scripture readings, and eulogies. Whether the service is held at your church, a funeral parlour, or a void deck, we ensure the day reflects your loved one’s faith and your family’s wishes.
We coordinate funerals across all major Christian denominations in Singapore:
We work with your pastor and church directly, attending planning meetings if helpful and ensuring the order of service is followed precisely on the day.
Our Christian funeral packages cover the practical essentials, with the religious elements led by your pastor and church. Each item is handled by our in-house team:
The wake is a time for family, friends, and church community to gather, share memories, and pay respects. We coordinate the timing, seating, and refreshments so the focus stays on community and remembrance.
Each evening of the wake, a short service is typically held with prayers, hymns, and scripture readings. Your pastor or church leaders lead these. We provide the setup, podium, sound, hymn books, and coordinate timing with church members who may wish to lead specific parts.
Music is central to a Christian funeral. Whether you choose traditional hymns or contemporary worship songs, we coordinate with your church’s musicians or arrange separate musicians if needed. Printed lyric sheets or hymn books are provided for the congregation.
Family members or close friends typically read selected scripture passages or share eulogies celebrating the life of your loved one. We help structure the order of service in consultation with your pastor, including printed programmes for guests.
On the day of committal, a full funeral service is held, usually at your church, occasionally at the wake venue or funeral parlour. Your pastor leads the service. The order typically includes an opening prayer, hymns, scripture readings, the eulogy, sermon or message, and final commendation.
After the funeral service, the procession travels to the crematorium or cemetery. A short committal ceremony is held at the graveside or before the cremation, led by your pastor with closing prayers, scripture, and a final hymn. Ashes are collected the following day if cremation is chosen.
Christian funerals in Singapore typically run from one to three days, depending on family preference, church availability, and whether family members are travelling from overseas.
We collect the deceased from the hospital or home, prepare the body, and bring them to the wake venue or directly to your church. The first prayer service may be held that evening.
Family, friends, and church community gather to pay respects. Evening prayer services are led by your pastor or church leaders.
The full funeral service is held, typically at your church. The procession then moves to the crematorium or cemetery for the committal.
For families who prefer a shorter farewell, we also arrange single-day services that combine the wake, funeral, and committal into one day. This is increasingly common when family is travelling from overseas or when the family prefers a quieter, more intimate gathering.
We arrange both burial and cremation, depending on your family’s wishes. Cremation is more common in Singapore due to land considerations, with ashes interred at a columbarium or scattered at the Garden of Peace. Burial is arranged at Choa Chu Kang cemetery. We will walk you through the considerations for each, including costs, plot availability, and ongoing maintenance.
We answer the line 24 hours a day, every day of the year. A funeral director will be with your family within the hour, anywhere in Singapore.
We coordinate directly with your pastor. Once you provide their contact details, we reach out to plan the order of service, confirm timings, and ensure everything they need on the day is in place. Your family does not need to manage the back-and-forth with the church.
Yes. Many families hold the wake at home or a void deck and move the funeral service to their church on the final day. We coordinate transport, setup at the church, and the procession to the crematorium or cemetery afterwards.
Of course. The order of service is built around your family’s wishes and your pastor’s input. We will print programmes that reflect your selections and ensure musicians, sound, and hymn books are ready accordingly.
We can introduce you to pastors who serve families in your situation, including non-denominational and independent church leaders who conduct funeral services for families without a home church. Tell us what kind of service you would like and we will help find the right person.
Yes. Both options are arranged. We will walk you through the practical considerations, including plot availability at Choa Chu Kang for burial, or columbarium options for cremation, so your family can decide what feels right.
