2. Are cremations allowed in Christian and Catholic funerals?

We ensure that our cremation services align with religious customs, so families can be assured that the process respects both faith and personal wishes.

4. What should I consider when choosing between burial and cremation?
When selecting between burial and cremation in Singapore, it’s essential to consider religious beliefs, family traditions, and the deceased’s personal wishes. Burial provides a physical gravesite, offering family members a dedicated place to visit and pay respects over time, which can be meaningful for some. Cremation, on the other hand, offers more flexibility, allowing families to keep the ashes at home, place them in a columbarium, or scatter them in a place of significance. Financial considerations may also play a role, as cremation may be a more economical choice than traditional burial. Unity Casket’s team is available to discuss both options in detail, helping families choose what best aligns with their values and practical needs. We support families in making a choice that respects both their loved one’s wishes and religious customs.
