“We must find time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives” – John F.Kennedy
I like to take pictures. Not because I am a narcissist (Ah, okay, maybe a little >.<). On a serious note; it’s more of how a picture can capture the essence of emotions, can capture a particular moment which would never happen ever again in our lives. Every moment is special and unique it its…
A Tribute
This post is a tribute to be paid to my dear friend, Jasmine Lim. I couldn’t believe it when I saw you on the newspapers, that you’d been involved in a car accident and unfortunately have passed on. I will never forget how we first spoke to each other. I have seen you a couple…
清明节
The Qing Ming Festival ( 清明节 ), also popularly known as the “Tomb-Sweeping Day” falls on 5th April, a Thursday this year. During this traditional Chinese festival, Chinese families would visit the tombs or crematoriums to pay respects to their ancestors. I respect such entrenched traditions and as a Christian, I view this as a…
Burial Or Cremation?
Recently, my guys and I conducted a burial service. Luckily, the weather was alright that day. For those who have not been to Choa Chu Kang Cemetery to witness a burial, it indeed is much tougher than cremation – at least for the pallbearers. The usual procedure would be to lower the casket down into…
Does it really get better with time?
The passing of someone really dear to us can feel like a break up; just that this time round, we know for sure that amendments can’t be made anymore. Words unsaid will always be left that way and chances we never took would always be left as that. This reminds me of the lyrics to…
Thank You 2017
It’s the start of another new year. With the new goes the old. 2017 has been an exciting year for me; with me entering the funeral industry. I must admit I had my doubts initially with regards to my own capabilities to handle the responsibilities associated with this job. The funeral industry and the…
How To Cope With The Loss Of A Child
Within the relatively short span of me serving in the death-care service industry, I’ve had the honour to be tasked to help organise several funerals of babies. Sometimes it’s a miscarriage, other times an unfortunate illness that takes the life of a baby who has lived for only a couple of months. Whatever the case,…
Suicide Cases
Suicide cases are heartbreaking. Those left behind often ponder what went wrong. Choosing to die is never easy and would most likely be a last resort for many (I am not encouraging any form of suicide here, in fact suicide should never be a way to resolve anything). According to the Registry of Births and…
Funeral Expense Reimbursement? That’s right!
Death is inescapable for us all. As we die however, the living sometimes fret over what is left behind – hefty medical bills, funeral expenses and needless to say, a heavy heart. Funeral expenses can be manageable for some but to others, it can be a sum too huge to bear. Fortunately, the government has in…
