Cremation of A Body Part

Losing a body part ( limb, toe, etc.) due to surgery or accident can be a traumatic experience. Some hospitals help to dispose the body parts as part of a mass cremation while nursing homes might not have such a service and would need you to engage a funeral director to take care of things.

Most people would cremate these limbs as simply as possible. In Singapore, cremation of body parts can be done only at Choa Chu Kang Crematorium. This is in contrast to the usual cremations of corpses that is done only at Mandai Crematorium. Only cases of corpses exhumed from the burial grounds would be cremated at Choa Chu Kang Crematorium. After the cremation has been conducted, we can choose to retrieve the ashes where the ashes can be kept or disposed. The ashes can be kept so as to place them together with the ashes of the owner’s body in time to come when death occurs, or disposed of either by sea burial or garden scattering.

If we choose not to collect the ashes, a mass sea burial will be done for all uncollected ashes. Most people will choose to have a proper cremation of their body parts, just like how they would with a foetus of their own.

The typical cost of such a cremation is very affordable and is often a couple of hundreds of dollars.
