Why cannot? I dun think HDB got rules saying cannot do funeral rituals at home. Can use your living room for the coffin. Only problem is the lift might not be large enough for the coffin unless the coffin is place in the vertical position while using the lift.

For ppl doing Taoist ritual really waste a lot of monies.
1. Pay cold hard cash buy kim chua to fold and then later throw into furnace to burn?
2. Pay cold hard cash to the Taoist priests to mumble and chant something you don't understand? they say what you do what they do correctly or wrong you know?
3. Pay cold hard cash buy good quality wood coffin when later is push into Mandai Crematorium to burn. Good quality they need burn much longer. You next morning then go and take the bones and ashes.
4. Mandai Crematorium knock open existing door so as to put another new urn inside side by side need pay again which means same door pay 2 times price
So death in Spore super expensive. When alive already cry father cry mother Spore living expenses high. When die also incur higher expenses but I think die is one off not recurring compared to living person though.

Family members usually arrive in the morning to pay their respects and offer condolences to the immediate family. It's a time for sharing memories, offering support, and reflecting on the life of the departed. The specific timing of when family members can go back home can vary depending on the arrangements and the wishes of the immediate family. It's best to check with the funeral parlour staff, as they can provide more information on the expected duration of the wake. Additionally, funeral parlours often have dedicated rooms or spaces where mourners can gather to share meals or refreshments. These spaces offer a more intimate setting for family and friends to come together, reminisce, and find comfort in one another's company. Btw, have you ever heard of
water based cremation? It's becoming increasingly popular as people seek more sustainable options for their end-of-life arrangements. If you'd like to know more about it, I'd be happy to provide additional information.

cremation is the cheapest ., later u still got to dig the dead out and rebury elsewhere, vy troublesome,
cremation is fast and cheap and good,,the day u leave immeditately call funeral parlour send yr body to mandai to cremate.
ard 2K only,, now i dont know how much,, my mother was 5 yrs ago price..
if u die morning afternoon can cremate laio.,. if u dies late afternoon of night time, got to spend one day either at the mortuary or call funeral parlour take yr body to their place then cremate the next day..
i think bad idea to have furneral for a few days,, body become rotten even if it is embalm or whatever, better for everyone,
dont need to trouble relative, and yr loved one..

I've attended funeral wakes at parlors before, and they usually have seating arrangements for family members. While they may not always have sofas or reclining chairs, they often provide comfortable seating options for everyone. As for timing, it varies, but family members typically arrive before the start of the wake and can leave whenever they feel ready. On a personal note, when I needed to arrange a funeral recently, I considered direct cremation as a practical and affordable option. It's worth exploring if you're looking for a low-cost solution. Take care.

I saw them doing it in the void deck which is not much difference from placing the corpse in own living room. I think the problem is crowd and noise. So as long as there is no crowds like only wife and children attending with no sai gong chanting, there should be no reason to complain. After all, there is no HDB rule that dun allow this.

It is about 4room HDB size charging $1200 per day in one of the local funeral parlours. Now shd be more than $1200. Fully air conditioning. No need to worry about cats to wake up the dead. Can sleep well at night.
Normal plastic chairs lah.. you want sofa, probably got additional charges.
If you have big gang attending the wake, better don’t opt for funeral parlour. It is very clamp. Less than 30 headcount shd be fine.
I saw one of the evading tax funeral parlour boss wearing Daytona full gold before. KNN. Really sibeh ho tan.
The departed doesn't bargain asking for discount. The living Do swee swee.

funeral process is to provide last respect for decease. let relative and friends has a last chance to visit..
also important to let family members , close one to have a closure of the fact that deceased has departed. so tired after the funeral then sleep and recover and continue with life.
