A Taoist funeral is among the more involved send-offs held in Singapore, and the cost reflects the priests, the rites, the wake setup and the many offerings. The honest answer is that a complete Taoist funeral usually starts from around $8,888, though the final figure depends on the number of days, the venue and the customs your family keeps.
A proper package should be fully itemised, so you always know what you are paying for. Ours, the Taoist Graceful Tribute, is $8,888 nett for a 3 day wake and $9,888 for 5 days, and it includes:
A few things move the number up or down. The number of days is the biggest one, since more days mean more priest sessions and offerings. The dialect customs your family follows can add specific ceremonial items. Optional extras such as additional chanting (the Siang Tng 善堂 prayer), buffet catering, longevity clothing and a chiller are billed on top only if you want them.
Be wary of a quote that looks cheap but is not itemised. The gap is usually filled later with items that "were not included" at a difficult time. A transparent, nett quote protects your family from that.
