What is Direct Funeral Service?
A Direct Funeral is a streamlined, no-wake funeral option that is both cost-effective and efficient. While the term “direct funeral” typically refers to both direct burial and direct cremation. However, in Singapore, Direct Funeral Service specifically refers to Direct Cremation Service. This is due to the high cost and scarcity of burial spaces in the country, making the Direct Burial Service less common.
Direct funerals typically take place without a funeral wake service beforehand, and usually without any mourners present. These services focus solely on the essential components of the cremation or burial process, allowing the funeral director to keep costs to a minimum. Common inclusions in a Direct Funeral Service are cremation or burial, transport, paperwork, and a casket.
Direct Funeral Services are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to a traditional funerals, especially for those looking for a low-cost, hassle-free option with minimal planning involved.
Hence, Direct Funeral Services saves both time and money.

Direct Cremation vs. Direct Burial – Which One to Choose?
Direct Cremation and Direct Burial offer different options based on family preferences and needs. Direct Cremation is an affordable and quick process, requiring no burial plot. It eliminates traditional rituals like funeral wakes or processions, focusing solely on the cremation itself. This streamlined approach is ideal for those seeking a low-cost, simple solution. At Ang Brothers Funeral Services, we handle all the practical elements, allowing families to remember their loved one without unnecessary expenses or ceremonies.
On the other hand, Direct Burial involves burying the deceased without a wake or ceremony. It is often preferred for religious or cultural reasons, providing a permanent resting place. However, in Singapore, the high cost and limited availability of burial plots make this option less common. For those wishing to visit their loved one’s final resting place, Direct Cremation may be more suitable, as the ashes can be returned and interred in a location of choice.
We help families choose the best option to honor their loved ones.
