For 40 years, Ang Brothers has guided Singapore's Taoist families through the rites, the priests and the paper offerings, faithful to Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese and Hakka traditions, so you can grieve while we hold every detail.
Everything a Taoist send off calls for, arranged by a team that understands the rites, the dialect customs and the meaning behind each one.
The rites arranged to your family's tradition, whether Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese or Hakka, so nothing is out of place.
The Taoist priests, the chanting and the merit rituals conducted properly across the wake, with the paper offerings prepared and burned.
Collection, casket, the altar, the rites and the cremation, all handled end to end so you can simply be present.
A complete Taoist wake and ceremony, fully itemised so you always know where you stand.
Everything is included, grouped into six simple parts.
Prepared and burned through the rites, so your loved one is provided for in the journey ahead.
A Taoist send off is not one tradition but many. We arrange the priests, the chanting and the offerings to the customs your family keeps, so nothing feels unfamiliar.
Singapore's largest group. Rites are led by Taoist priests (道士) across the wake, with gong de (功德) merit rituals, chanting and paper offerings prepared and burned. We arrange every custom your family holds.
Often among the most elaborate, with distinctive chanting and merit-making that may run over more days. We coordinate the right priests and the ceremonial items your tradition calls for.
Cantonese rites carry their own customs and cadence, and may include the breaking of hell's gate (破地獄) performed by the priest. We set up the altar and rites to your family's practice.
Hakka traditions lean toward the simple and dignified. We honour the customs your family keeps, from the wake through to the final send off, without excess.
Families often feel calmer once they can see the whole journey laid out. Here is the usual sequence.
The deceased is collected from the home, hospital or hospice and prepared with care. The death is certified, and the family decides on the length of the wake, the venue and which Taoist priest will lead the prayers. Wakes commonly run three, five or seven days.
The body is cleansed, dressed and placed in the casket, set at the wake with a portrait, candles and a Taoist altar with deity figures for the offerings.
Over the days the wake runs, Taoist priests lead the chanting and the merit rituals (功德). The rites can include the breaking of hell's gate and the crossing of the bridge, performed to help the deceased pass safely into the next world.
Joss paper and paper effigies, such as a house, a car and gold, are burned so the deceased is provided for in the next life. The specific rites and offerings follow your family's dialect group customs.
On the last day a final round of prayers is held before the casket is sealed and carried out. Both cremation and burial are arranged, after which the ashes are collected and placed at a columbarium, as the family wishes.
Dress modestly in white, black or subdued colours. Offer condolences quietly, follow the family's lead during the prayers, and know that your calm presence matters more than knowing every ritual.
Every photograph here is our own work, for a real Singapore family. From the altar and the priests' rites to the paper offerings carried to the fire, this is the journey we walk beside you.
