Our Funeral Pre-Planning Services
Pre Planning Arrangement (PPA)
The Pre-Planning Arrangement is designed for individuals who have been advised by their doctors that they are in the later stages of a serious illness, or who are receiving hospice or palliative care. Rather than leaving decisions to a difficult time, the PPA allows you and your family to make clear, considered choices together while you still can.
This arrangement typically covers the full scope of funeral services, religious rites, venue selection, and post-funeral support, documented and confirmed in advance. Our funeral director will meet with you personally and guide you through every decision with sensitivity and without pressure.
Legacy Planning Arrangement (LPA)
Clients belonging to this category belong to the age group 50-60 and they are usually rather healthy, mobile, independent, single. They plan for their own funeral way in advance and they will have another personnel aged 21 and above to be the witness and executor in time to come.
Who Should Consider Funeral Pre-Planning in Singapore?
Funeral pre-planning is a thoughtful and responsible decision that benefits people at many life stages:
Individuals Aged 50 and Above
If you have accumulated assets, have dependants, or simply wish to spare your family from uncertainty, pre-planning your funeral is one of the kindest things you can do for them. Documenting your preferences now means your loved ones will not need to guess what you would have wanted.
Those With a Terminal Illness or Chronic Condition
A pre-planned funeral arrangement ensures that your final wishes are honoured, even during a time when your family may be overwhelmed by caregiving and grief. Our team approaches every conversation with complete sensitivity.
Families Who Want to Lock In Today's Prices
Funeral costs in Singapore are subject to inflation. By pre-planning now, you protect your family from potential price increases and provide them with financial certainty. Costs are agreed and documented at the time of planning.
Singles or Those Without Close Family in Singapore
For individuals without immediate next of kin in Singapore, pre-planning ensures that their final wishes are documented and can be carried out by a nominated executor, without relying on an unprepared or distant relative.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does pre-planning a funeral mean?
Pre-planning a funeral involves making all the arrangements for your funeral in advance.

It ensures that your wishes are honoured and relieves your family from making difficult decisions during a stressful time.
What happens if I don’t plan a funeral?
Without funeral services in place, your family is left to make all the arrangements during an emotional period. This can lead to added stress, financial strain, and potential disagreements among family members regarding your final wishes.

Planning a funeral can take anywhere from a few days to a week or more, depending on the complexity of the arrangements and the availability of resources such as venues and service providers.

Yes, most funeral plans allow you to cancel and get a refund. However, the terms can vary, so it’s important to review the contract carefully to understand any fees or conditions that might apply to a cancellation.
