On average, wakes in Singapore last for 3 to 7 days. You can consider some factors to help you decide on the duration of the wake. These include your budget and whether there are family members who will be flying in from abroad to attend the wake.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident
<\/span> The body of a Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident may be brought back to Singapore for cremation or burial with a Coffin (Import) Permit.
Please engage a funeral director to assist you with the application procedures.<\/p>

Though the death occurred overseas, it must also be reported to Singapore\u2019s Registry of Births and Deaths, located at the Citizen Centre, 3rd Storey, ICA Building. This must be done personally by the next-of-kin of the deceased.<\/p>

If the next-of-kin is unable to report the death personally, a letter of authorisation is required.<\/p>

Documents to bring:<\/p>

  1. Death Certificate issued by the foreign authorities (an English-translated copy is required if the death certificate is in an ethnic language)<\/li>
  2. Coffin (Import\/Export) Permit<\/li>
  3. Permit to Bury\/Cremate<\/li>
  4. Deceased\u2019s Singapore identity card, passport, Citizenship Certificate (if any), and<\/li>
  5. Informant\u2019s identification documents<\/li><\/ol>

    Foreigners
    <\/span>The body of a foreign national may be imported into Singapore for cremation. However, do note that the ashes of foreigners cremated in Singapore can only be stored in niches at private columbariums, and not government-managed facilities. In order for the body of a foreigner to be imported into Singapore for burial, the immediate next-of-kin must be a Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident.<\/p>

    Whether it\u2019s for cremation or burial, a Coffin (Import) Permit is required. A Permit to Cremate or a Permit to Bury will be issued together with the Coffin (Import) Permit. It\u2019s advisable to engage a funeral director to assist you with the application procedures.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Contact your loved one\u2019s family doctor or a neighbourhood doctor who\u2019s willing to make a house call. Alternatively, you may call our 24\/7 helpline at\u00a0+65 6555 1115<\/a>\u00a0and we will arrange for a doctor to assist your family.<\/p>

    After the death is certified by a doctor, you will be able to receive a digital death certificate from the\u00a0My Legacy portal. Once you have the digital death certificate, you may engage a funeral director to see to your loved one\u2019s final journey.<\/p>

    However, if the doctor is unable to certify the death, you will have to call the police to arrange for the body to be sent to the Mortuary@HSA in a police hearse. The police will notify you when to go down to the mortuary, usually the next day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Here are some locations you can consider:<\/p>

    1. Void deck<\/li>
    2. Multi-purpose hall<\/li>
    3. Precinct pavilion<\/li>
    4. Funeral parlour<\/li>
    5. Private\/landed property<\/li>
    6. Place of worship<\/li>
    7. State land<\/li>
    8. Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) carpark<\/li><\/ol>

      If you are holding the wake at a Town Council-managed void deck, multi-purpose hall or pavilion, you will need to obtain a permit from your Town Council.<\/p>

      If you are holding the wake in a private\/landed property and need to use part of the road outside, you will need to seek approval from the Land Transport Authority and apply for a Temporary Occupational Licence (TOL) from the Singapore Land Authority (SLA). A TOL fee applies. In addition, if there is going to be a road closure due to the wake, you will also need a permit from the Traffic Police.<\/p>

      Similarly, you will need to apply for a TOL from SLA and pay a TOL fee if you wish to use state land.<\/p>

      For a wake to be held in a URA carpark, you will need to apply for the use of parking lots from URA.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

      Embalming is not required by law. However, it\u2019s recommended if you wish to allow for the viewing of your deceased loved one during the wake.<\/p>

      Embalming ensures that the body of your loved one is preserved in its most natural state, allowing guests and family to see your loved one as they were. Without embalming, your loved one\u2019s body condition will change due to Singapore\u2019s hot and humid weather, making it unsuitable for viewing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

      There\u2019s no hard and fast rule to this. But if you are attending a wake or funeral as a guest, it\u2019s best to check with the bereaved family and your own family as it can be a taboo to some.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Death is considered to be a polluting element in Chinese customs.
