Buddhist and Taoist funeral wakes often involves burning of joss sticks and paper products and hence the funeral parlour chosen must be able to accommodate these religious requirements. In Singapore, there are no private temples that allow their space to host funeral wakes as of today (unlike Catholic Churches that allow their members to use their space for funerals).

As such, if you stay in a private residence and cannot utilise the void deck of a housing development board for a funeral wake, there are 6 venues to hold funeral wakes. These funeral parlours are listed below with their accompanying pros and cons.
