the cheap service is Never set up wake.
One of my relative do like this.
next day straight to Mandia , in that room see his last look with relatives. About 15 mins to 30mins
than will push to burn.
Next day go changi there , the funeral person will bring the ashes if you choose for sea burial.
what I saw at Mandia there , need to pack red packet as " a gesture for the helpers there "
than at changi jetty , is for the uncle who drive the boat.
What I know from relative total cost is less than 5k. Choosing the cheapest coffin + the misc services behind.
MAYBE now is expensive if choose this service but still cheaper than setting up wake.
Due to GST Hike, inflation , Funeral companies also need to earn due to " man power " etc etc...

Up to individual, in fact you put the ash inside that urn is like been trap inside next do the next gen will pray every 7th month or CNY etc to their ancestor ?
In fact my relative that funeral guy in charge mention the same up to individual , he claim sea burial is like they are free next u can pray anything anywhere you like. He told me the new one which buried in the soil , Cantonese folks might not want is like been stack and stack like that
A lot famous rich ppl also choose sea burial if u don’t know even some politicians

singlon ever did once for a relative.
Once all clear at mortuary

singlon collected ash
singlon dropped the package into the sea at Marine parade
ash refused to sink
singlon closed eyes and said : I have to go it is late.
He Gone. singlon went Home.
Eversince dat day singlon prospers.
singlon and ahPuNAna became sworn brothers.
They were the undertakers.
Both were drunkards. That was how singlon learns to drink.
