About Taoist Funeral Package Crafted By Singapore Funeral Sanctuary
Taoist funeral service and packages provided by Singapore Funeral Services – Funeral Sanctuary adhere to the fundamental beliefs of the ancient religion to help the soul of the deceased on its ongoing journey along “The Way” or Tao
We specialise in tailoring Taoist funerals to the needs of specific Chinese dialect groups as we help families through the anguish of bereavement.
- Taoism Funeral Rites & Rituals
Candles, lamps, rice, water and tea are also often used in Taoist funeral rituals, each with a symbolic purpose in helping the soul of the deceased.
We arrange for different Taoist funeral rites in Singapore to match the requirements of different dialect groups, including Teochew, Hokkien, and Zhao’an communities.
- Hokkien funerals Rites
As the departed is encoffined, Hokkien mourners perform a cleansing ritual involving “buying water” from the Earth Deity with joss paper and coins.
On the day of the funeral, a funeral oration is recited and family members make offerings as they’re called to the altar according to their relationship to the departed
- Teochew funerals Rites
Before casketing, our funeral director will oversee the observance of Teochew funeral customs.
Crossing the Bridge is regarded as the most significant ritual of a Teochew funeral, in which a priest carries the departed’s Soul Lantern and leads the family across the bridge into the afterlife.
- Zhao’an funerals Rites
A combination of Teochew and Hokkien funeral rituals, Zhao’an funeral rites are rooted in customs originating from Zhao’an county in the Hokkien province of Fujian, close to the Teochew region of Chaozhou.
This often means organising Teochew and Hokkien priests to perform chanting ceremonies on different occasions.
