Why An Lok Singapore Funeral Services
1. Our Funeral Services Director Genuinely Cares
Even though we, Funeral Services Directors from An Lok Singapore Funeral Services, are exposed to death every day, we are still sensitive when families suffered a loss. We find the deaths of children particularly difficult to deal with, or deaths that are unnatural. We are, after all, only human. As Funeral Services Directors, we have often lost people we loved ourselves, so we are able to truly empathize with how you are feeling. Like doctors and nurses, we have to be professional when we work with you, meaning that we have to put our own emotions aside so that we can better serve you. So do not misperceive our lack of tears when you speak about your loss as a lack of caring.
2. Our Funeral Services Director Isn't A Money Hungry Sales Person
Some people imagine that Funeral Services Directors rub our hands in glee when we hear about a death because we relish the opportunity to milk as much money as possible from a grieving family. Nothing could be further from the truth. Similar to other profession that requires compassion and caring, we have a kind and thoughtful team. Our primary role at An Lok Singapore Funeral Services is to serve you and your family during a difficult time, and caring for the body of the person who passed away. The overwhelming majority of our time and attention is spent on providing personalized service, rather than explaining products that are available for purchase. We as professional Funeral Services Directors will support your choices, rather than try and sell you products or funeral services that you don’t want.
3. Our Funeral Services Director Makes Your Life Easier
The reason you hire a Funeral Services Director is to help you take care of all details that need to be attended to when a loved one passes away. We are the true experts when it comes to caring for a deceased person, caring for you and for your family, and organizing a funeral. We will help when you are overwhelmed with the many decisions that you need to make and will guide you through the process, and to take care of worrying about all the details, so that you don’t have to. At An Lok Singapore Funeral Services, we strive to make things a little bit easier for the families during their bereavement as we strongly believe that grieving with a peace of mind is a priority and not a privilege.
4. Our Funeral Services Director Doesn’t Want You to Live With Regret
Having an opportunity to say goodbye to someone who has passed away is very important for the immediate family. A funeral allows people to come together and talk about the person that they loved and cared about and share that person’s life story. It gives them an opportunity to express how thankful they are for the opportunity to have known that person. A funeral does not need to be expensive. Our Funeral Services Directors at An Lok Singapore Funeral Services will work with the family to create a service that honours the person that passed away, and most importantly, fits within the family’s budget.

Testimonials
"An Lok Singapore Funeral Services helped my bereaved family able to cope with the loss of our loved one whilst ensuring that the wake was well-organised and dignified. In face of our sudden loss and grief, our beloved father still had a beautiful and respectful wake — this is only possible with the help of Alvin. He was transparent and honest with all charges and billables. He advised on what’s practised traditionally and the difference in various rituals. He will always check the objective behind the family for the respective rituals and advise on what is practical and what is not necessary. He offered sincere options and not just whichever that is “best for business”, it goes to show that An Lok practises good business ethics. Because Alvin was so reliable, honest and helpful, we engaged him for all of our beloved father’s buddhist rituals (7th, 49th, 100th and death anniversary). An Lok is an honest and respectable business that prioritises the deceased and the bereaved family. I can not recommend their services enough. They are undoubtedly the best way to bid a loved one goodbye." ~ Kendy Loh

Some useful information...
If the death occurs in a hospital
Step 1: Obtain Certificate of Cause of Death (CCOD)
When a death occurs, a doctor at the hospital can certify the cause of death if the cause of death is known, and the cause is natural. The doctor at the hospital will certify the death online and the death will be automatically registered.
If the death occurs at home
Step 1: Obtain Certificate of Cause of Death (CCOD)
Contact your family doctor who has been attending to the deceased. If you do not have a family doctor, or if the family doctor is not available, the funeral services provider will be able to arrange a doctor who can make house visits. The doctor will certify the death online and the death will be automatically registered.
If he is unable to certify the death, the police will be notified and arrangements will be made by the police to send the body to Mortuary @ HSA (located at Block 9, Singapore General Hospital) in a police hearse. The family will be notified by the police when to go to the Mortuary @ HSA (usually the next day).
At the Mortuary@HSA
• The police investigator will arrange for the family to view and identify the deceased's body in the presence of the coroner.
• The coroner will review the case and determine if an autopsy is required.
• The family will be informed of the coroner's decision and the time to claim the body for the funeral.
Step 2: Engage a Funeral Services Provider
After the Death Certificate has been obtained, the family may engage a funeral services provider who will:
(i) collect the body from the home or hospital mortuary;
(ii) send the body for embalming if required; and
(iii) deliver the body to the location of the wake.
Step 3: Register the Death (this can be done concurrently with Step 2)
The family no longer have to register the death at any Police Divisional Headquarters, Neighborhood Police Centre or Neighborhood Police Post. A death in Singapore will be automatically registered once a doctor certifies the death online. Once registered, a death certificate will be issued in digital format. After the doctor has certified the death online, the next of kin will have to download the digital death certificate at My Legacy website within 30 days and save it in his/her personal device for future retrieval.
