A Christian is someone who believes and puts Christ teachings into practice. It is thereby expected for Christians in Singapore, and those all over the world, to believe that their life will be judged according to the actions they made while they were still living. And before they bid goodbye to a deceased loved one, they give honor to his or her life by holding a funeral ceremony. A typical Christian funeral Singapore ceremony is expected to carry out activities that are in accordance with Christ's teachings.
A Christian funeral is observed not only to give a decent funeral to the deceased, but more importantly to celebrate the life of the deceased as his or her soul journeys to eternal life. These are probably the reasons why the Christian way of holding a funeral is considered the most interactive. The family of the deceased together with relatives and friends gather to share wonderful stories about the deceased and pray for his or her soul to rest in peace. The family may also arrange a special program a day before the internment. Through this, families and friends will be able to say goodbye to the deceased without feeling completely sad.
A Christian funeral Singapore service is usually officiated by the minister of the church where the deceased used to go to when he or she was still living. More often than not, there's no need for a casket but this has changed through time as people's demand for a more aesthetic and customized design became evident.
The ceremony starts with an opening reading from the Holy Scripture. The passage from the Bible says that the Lord is the resurrection and the life. He who believes and lives in Him shall never die. Then, it is followed by gospel reading and the sermon. After these are the personal readings. The priest will reflect about the life of the deceased and mention things that are important to his or her role as a Christian. A friend or a family member may also share a brief account of the deceased's life. This will be followed by prayers of thanksgiving and penitence, reflection, and committal.
Today, companies that provide Singapore funeral services also include a short fellowship reception in the services they offer. Refreshments and foods are distributed to the guests.
