Buddhism is among the most ancient and exotic faiths of the world. In Singapore, majority of the populace are of the Buddhist persuasion, and they rely on the Buddhist monks for the wake and burial rites arrangement for the deceased. A Buddhist funeral Singapore, nevertheless, can be arranged by a third-party funeral services organization which can communicate with the family and the order of monks in charge of providing the dead a proper interment.
casket services (http://www.angchinmoh.com.sg/qualitycaskets) Singapore provide Singapore casket provision for Buddhist people. The casket is in fact, a standard casket that is also used anywhere in the globe. It could also be customized based on the family's taste.
Moments after the dead loved one has been released from the morgue, a customary bathing of the departed ensues. This is done by pouring water over the palm of the dead. Once it is done, the body of the dead is moved into a coffin. The coffin could be bedecked with flowers, candles, incense and wreathes and a proper photograph of the dead.
A means of merriment or feast follows the advent of the coffin for the wake. The wake normally takes three days to a week, depending on the arrival of the expected family members as well as the rituals involved. The monks would pay the family a visit for the routine chants which are performed up to thrice each day. The chants are taken from the Abhidharma, or Buddha's higher teachings. Food is offered to the monks and the other visitors as the wake continues. Games and feasts are also held to keep guests from being sad.
At the day of cremation, the casket is taken off from the house in an unconventional way. Buddhists believe that their dead loved ones shouldn't be taken out of the house in the normal route. Consequently, the coffin is removed from the house or the wake through another area or a hole in the wall. Interestingly, the flooring of the house is covered with banana leaves, especially the parts where the coffin is going through.
