How long are Taoist funerals

Taoist Funeral Services may differ depending on the local group that is holding the ceremony. Due to the varying practices for Taoism in many countries and regions, cultural groups in Singapore who are practising this religious belief have developed their unique variation of the funeral rite. For this very reason, it is also difficult to tell exactly how long a Taoist funeral in Singapore can last. Outside the religious concerns, there are also some reasons including waiting for relatives to come and pay their final tribute, conflicts with other occasions and more. However, we can say at least that for most cases, a Taoist funeral service often takes an odd number for the duration. For instance, it could last for 3 days, 5 days, a week etc.

Within these days, several Taoist priests are invited to perform chants and prayers for the departed. They would also play drums or string instruments. During the final night, the relatives would be asked to burn joss papers to offer to the departed. Most of the time in recent years, interment is made through cremation on the funeral day.

Taoist Funeral Ritual

Taoist funeral services place a greater emphasis on celebrating the life over mourning the death, with ceremonies performed to safeguard the deceased’s spirit from harm. Incense, elaborate food offerings and flowers, as well as loads of paper products, surround the place where the funeral rite is being held.

During a Taoist funeral service, some of the Taoist priests would also play instruments to accompany the chants. The priest would then ward off evil spirits with his sword and destroy the pre-positioned tiles to liberate the departed from the holds of the underworld. In some other practices, a priest would kneel before the deity, as a form of prayer for the soul of the deceased.

Taoist funeral packages often include elaborate food and fruit offerings as these are crucial parts of the ceremony. Joss papers are also prepared upon request of the priests or the bereaved family for the last night of the funeral service.
