Among the most elaborate and traditional of Taoist send-offs, arranged with the care the Teochew rites deserve.
Teochew Taoist funerals are known for being among the most elaborate and traditional in Singapore. The ceremonies are detailed, the chanting distinctive, and the merit-making (做功德, zo gong de) can run over more days than other traditions, following the family's custom and the guidance of the Taoist priest.
The priests lead the rites across the wake, with the offerings and ceremonial items prepared to the Teochew tradition. Joss paper and paper effigies are burned so the departed is provided for, and the specific customs, from the altar to the order of the prayers, follow what the family keeps.
Because the Teochew rites carry so much detail, families often feel calmer with a team that has arranged them many times before. We coordinate the right priests, the ceremonial items and the full setup, so nothing feels unfamiliar or out of place.
We arrange Taoist funerals for every dialect group, each to its own customs. See how we honour the others, or read the full overview.
