No funeral

[ricogan427]

Anyone know the procedure to skip hosting funeral before?

Me, I have informed my family that I do not want to hold a wake. Hold my body in SGH Block 8 and arrange for a cremation date by a funeral service company.

Can the deceased be kept in SGH Block 8 till the funeral service company
pick the body on the appointed cremation date.

Too detailed for me to know lols

Probably still have embalming service , cos at the crematorium still can sit for a bit

What if it's your parents? No feelings to them? How on earth edmwers can have no feelings? Or you all just talk only, never really have deep thoughts into what transpire when things happens?

Just... so... nvm...

we are singaporeans, we are told to have a heart, but in reality, we are trained to be cold.

we are trained to be workers

My wife and I have the same thoughts. No funeral, straight to cremation and scatter in the sea.

But I got tell her, if she don't treat me well, I'll flush her down the toilet bowl.

have you picked a toilet bowl that doesnt clog?

I don't think anyone told or trained Singaporeans to be cold. I attended funerals, many times over. This is the first I heard from edmwers saying they are going to skip the funeral and wake. That's coldest thing I heard from edmwers.

No funeral will still need to cremate the body and place the urn at some columbarium.
You want a minimal, quiet funeral without the wake and the processions, can always request the funeral parlour to organise, just pay and they will do according to your wish.

Personally I am for skipping funeral and wake (save the environment) and disperse my ashes (in water / garden / whatever is convenient).

I am guided by:

菩提本无树，
明镜亦非台。
本来无一物，
何处惹尘埃。​

*but i instructed my kids to do whatever they want to make them 'feel more comfortable' as everything is not important to me after I pass.

Those are the key words, "*but i instructed my kids to do whatever they want to make them 'feel more comfortable' as everything is not important to me after I pass."

None of above when fren died of heart attack whilst overseas. Locally a death cert certified by doctor usually in hospital or housecall, body collected by funeral company from home or hospital whom your next-of-kin chosen/paid for cremation with a coffin? followed by any instructions to keep/dispose the ashes. The wake can be quiet prayers or noisy procession?

Don't mind me sharing, you see most of the negative and illogical comments are from those have not start or no intention to start a family.

Read mummynew comments, that's something sensible.

Yes indeed.
Very insensitive and ignorance.
Till they experience themselves then will know funeral is not so easy like drinking coca cola.
