Funeral rituals and practices are rooted in people's distinct cultures and beliefs. This is why Christian funerals are different from those of Bhuddist's. Generally, Christians hold a funeral by having the body embalmed, prepared it for viewing and then a few days later buried it. The selection of a casket is one of the major decisions the bereaving family in Singapore (and for Christians in different parts of the world) will have to make if they choose this standard form of holding a funeral ceremony.
A typical Singapore funeral parlour usually has different types of caskets in their "showroom." The caskets they offer differ in terms of the material the casket is made of. The prices of course vary based on the type of material the casket is made of. Usually, the cost of a casket starts from several hundred dollars to 10, 000 dollars.
But Christians' post-modern funerals allow more options for holding a funeral for a departed loved one. This gives way to funeral rites that are completely new and different from those of the standardised and theologically-centred funerals of the past. Although it isn't a big deal which of these options beariving families would choose, having several options allow them to hold a funeral that speaks about them.
As a result, families now have other options, aside from burial, in the form of cremation. This option has led to totally new funeral rituals--- from the cremation of the body, the disposal of the ashes, and the designation of a memorial. Some decide to scatter ashes at sea, whilst others install a plaque on a park bench. This goes without saying that new industries have emerged to help make these rituals feasible.
A Funeral home Singapore (http://www.mountvernon.com.sg/transformation.html) company that caters to this segment of population also includes additional services like online funerals. From buying caskets and urns to ordering memorial cards and flowers, and even to memorializing the dead, everything can be done via the Internet. Through webcast funerals and cyber tributes that a funeral parlour in Singapore (http://www.mountvernon.com.sg/mvsfactsheet.html) provides, relatives and friends of the deceased who can't attend the funeral ceremony can have the chance to take part in the community of the bereaved.
