Singapore VIP Funerals

What is a VIP Funeral In Singapore?

A VIP funeral is a colloquial term for a grand funeral in Singapore. Just like most other products and services, there are different types of funeral services to cater to the different requests that people might have for funerals. A VIP funeral is typically the highest tier of funeral service offerings.

General Theme

For VIP funerals, the set up is elaborate, as expected. The set up might look more like a joyous occasion like a wedding than a funeral. Instead of the traditional way of hosting a funeral where the death is mourned, VIP funerals are usually centred around making the funeral event more personalised by showcasing the deceased’s life while alive. This also means you can expect activities that task you to contemplate about how the decedent's life has intertwined with yours while alive. Such activities are meant to invoke self-reflection.

Main Elements

Food is not to be missed in this event and live station cooks are usually seen. Live station cooks are those that you see at hotels serving international buffets where there will be individual cooks stationed at each food selection so that the food will be served hot and fresh whenever people want to consume them.

Coffins included in VIP funerals are usually made of better and thicker wood and are often bigger.

In some cases, people would want the tentage - either the customised one or at the void deck to be enclosed and air-conditioned. The price for making this happen is tens of thousands of dollars. The tentage is also made brighter with the addition of draping fairy lights in the entire tentage. At Harmony Funeral Care, we use tiffany chairs instead of regular chairs for our VIP funerals as they are more aesthetically appealing.

Flowers are a must and they have to be fresh blooms surrounding the entire coffin and perimeters of the wake area. There will also be flowers on top of the round tables as well.

It is not uncommon to see helpers being deployed at the funeral to help usher guests to their seats, serve guests drinks and food and to ensure the area is clean and tidy.

Cost

It is no surprise that such an extensive set up would come with a hefty cost. The grandiosity of the event depends on how much is spent. Despite the price tag, there are people who would be willing to spend these sums on a funeral as they view funerals as once-in-a lifetime milestone events.
