Sea Burial Services in Singapore

Our sea burial package includes a chartered vessel for family members and friends, transportation, administrative support, and assistance from our professional service team throughout the farewell.

We also help families prepare ceremonial elements, including flowers. Religious prayers and chanting are included in the package with religious rituals. Our team will explain the arrangements clearly beforehand, so you know what to expect on the day.

Our sea burial service without religious rituals is priced at S$360. This option is suitable for families who prefer a simple, non-religious farewell.

The package with religious prayers, chanting, or ceremonial rites is priced at S$740. Both options can be personalised with meaningful elements chosen by the family

No. While the terms are sometimes used interchangeably in Singapore, a sea burial does not necessarily involve scattering ashes into the water.

In most sea burials, the cremains are respectfully placed into the sea, often wrapped in a cloth or contained within a biodegradable urn. This allows the cremains to remain together and contained as they are laid to rest, preserving a sense of dignity and respect for the deceased.

Yes. Sea burial of cremains is legal and permitted in Singapore, provided it is carried out in accordance with the relevant NEA and maritime guidelines.

To protect the marine environment, only suitable biodegradable materials should accompany the cremains, and plastics, synthetic materials, or other non-biodegradable items should not be released into the sea.

You won’t need to manage the administrative process alone.

Our team will explain which documents apply to the cremation and the sea burial itself. Where applications are needed, we prepare them and take you through what to sign.

We provide a range of eco-friendly urns, crafted from sand. These urns are designed to break down naturally and meet the applicable environmental requirements in Singapore.

Our team will help your family select an appropriate urn and explain how it will be used during the ceremony. If we are also arranging the funeral or cremation beforehand, we can provide guidance on the casket and other related arrangements.

A sea burial can be an environmentally considerate way to lay cremains to rest when it is conducted at the designated location using suitable materials.

Anyone who feels comfortable can take part by offering prayers, reading a tribute, or scattering flowers. Children and elderly relatives are welcome if they are comfortable travelling by vessel. Please let us know if anyone needs additional assistance so we can prepare accordingly.

The time needed to arrange a sea burial will depend on vessel availability, the family’s preferred date, ceremonial preparations, and weather conditions.

The duration on the day will vary according to the departure point, sailing conditions, and length of the ceremony. Once the details are confirmed, our team will provide an estimated schedule covering the outward journey, farewell, and return.

The safety and comfort of your family and the vessel crew will always come first.

If the weather or sailing conditions are unsuitable, we’ll coordinate with the vessel operator and inform your family of any changes. Where necessary, our team will help arrange another date rather than proceeding in unsafe conditions.

Yes. A sea burial can be arranged after a direct cremation or following a traditional funeral and cremation service. Once the cremains are ready, our team can guide your family through the next steps.
