Importance of Funeral Services
Funeral services are considered one of the oldest, most enduring ceremonies in the world. They are considered important to the surviving family members and friends. Providing a social support system for the bereaved, the rituals that make up a funeral, from the wake to the actual burial ceremony, give friends and family an opportunity to express their love and respect for the deceased while at the same time, fulfilling their own emotional needs to do something to honor the one who has died. Funerals are the personal expression of an individual’s life. As a rite of passage, the funeral helps us acknowledge the passing of someone’s life, the death, and helps us to release the relationship with the person who has died and re-embrace life. A funeral service can help alleviate the pain of the loss and assist in emotional adjustment. Omitting the funeral can shortchange the healing process for friends and family. Under the National Environment Agency’s (NEA) code of practice, all deaths occurring in Singapore need to be registered and a burial permit obtained or cremation done, within 24 hours from death. At Nirvana Singapore we provide timely and flexible funeral services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to cater to your needs.

Embalming and Makeup Services
The embalming and makeup services provided by Nirvana Singapore are typically required when the deceased is to be presented for a final viewing for family members and relatives during a wake, or repatriation to another country, or long period, usually more than 7 days, before the funeral service is conducted. Embalming is a process which disinfects and preserves the deceased, retarding the process of decomposition and is done within 24 hours after death. The embalming process for Nirvana Singapore is conducted by licensed professional embalmers with a minimum of 5 years experience. We are currently the only funeral service provider that uses a Computerised Embalming Machine. This machine pumps embalming fluid into the arterial system mixing with the blood while gently expelling the existing blood and fluid in the body. It is a far more superior and effective embalming method compared to using hypodermic embalming where incisions are made to every appendage to inject the embalming fluid. This method ensures that there is uniform distribution of embalming fluid and tissue preservation without the necessity to make incisions to the deceased. This would mean a better and more natural look in the long run. This method helps to restore and present a more natural and comforting appearance of the deceased during the wake and funeral service. Embalming and makeup services provided by Nirvana Singapore also include dressing up the deceased in usual daily attire or in a preferred outfit before presentation. A 1 day embalming and makeup service charged at $1000, however additional embalming days are charged at $250 per day, depending on requirement. Pricing is similar for just embalming services or just makeup services.

Benefits of Pre-Planning
No matter what type of service or merchandise you have selected, the expense of your funeral is going to cost a great deal to your family. If you have set aside funds for your funeral and you are taking care of all of the details, your family will not have to face additional expenses. Your survivors always have the option of not following your wishes if you have not made your wishes known. When this occurs, there can be tremendous guilt and conflict over making the right decisions at the time of death. By pre-planning your funeral, you relieve your family of having to make important financial decisions during a period of great stress and sorrow. More than likely, you can lock in today’s prices and not have to worry about the rate of inflation increasing the cost of your funeral. With today’s busy families, people put off making important decisions. By taking the time now to think through the details of your funeral, you can make the best decisions. The best end-of-life decisions are made when you are of sound mind and you are not reacting to an emotionally difficult situation. You can carefully consider the options and choices available to you. In contrast, at-need funeral arrangements are made very quickly, often under duress, and sometimes with limited financial resources. By pre-planning your funeral, you can potentially spare your survivors the task of making arrangements while dealing with their pain and grief, which will allow them to begin the emotional healing process.
Pre-Payment Options
Term life insurance is also considered to be “pure protection” because unlike whole life insurance, universal life insurance, or variable life insurance, there is no cash value built up in the policy. The death benefit is the only thing that the insurance company provides, so it is much easier to understand the policy and the benefit provided. Because there is no cash value in the policy and the death benefit is only paid if the insured dies during the term of the policy, term life insurance is usually the least expensive form of life insurance.
The advantage of a term life insurance policy is quite simple to explain. The policy is a contract between the policy owner and the insurance company. In return for a premium payment to the insurance company, the insurance company provides a death benefit to a beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the death of the insured. In the case of term insurance, the death benefit is paid in the event that the insured dies during the term of the policy. If the insured does not die during the term of the policy, the policy simply terminates.
Customized Funeral Arrangements
The funeral can be paid for in advance by a lump sum or by fixed monthly payments. Plans usually allow the person to pay over a 1-10 year term.
Whole of life assurance policies are investment-based, and some have had a bad press due to the investment returns not meeting the rising funeral costs. The plan provider may have invested insufficient funds, and there could be a shortfall on the policy upon the person’s death. This could leave the family with the extra amount to pay. The funeral plan terms and conditions should state whether the family will be liable for any extra costs.
Funeral plans are provided by many different funeral plan providers. It is common for a person’s plan to be directly related to the services offered by a funeral director. Prices are based on current prices and are laid out in the plan provider’s terms and conditions. The funeral plan provider will place the funds within a whole of life assurance policy with an insurance company. The plan will stay in place until the insured person has died and the claim in respect of the funeral is made. At this point, the plan provider will notify a nominated funeral director of the death and provide details of the plan.
Customized funeral arrangements are where an individual plans and makes financial provision for a funeral based on their personal requirements. The plan is constructed through a dialogue with a funeral director in which the person’s needs and wishes are discussed, and options appropriate to their budget are considered. With this type of plan, the person has a clear idea of what their funeral will entail and relieves the financial and emotional burden from their family.
Funeral Insurance
A life insurance policy is where the premium is based on your current health status and the price is based on a predetermined amount to be paid upon your death. The money will only be paid to your beneficiaries after your death when a claim is submitted. If the claim is made within 13 months of the policy’s purchase date, the insurer will only pay the amount of the premiums that have been paid during the period. Any claims arising from accidental death will be paid in full.
Funeral insurance is a life insurance policy taken out on your life. The idea behind funeral insurance is to provide money to pay for your funeral and other related expenses. You can usually receive coverage ranging from $5,000 to $30,000 and policies are either age banded or life insurance. With an age banded policy, the amount you pay for your premium is based on the age you are when you purchase the policy for the first time. Once the policy is in place, the premium remains the same until you reach the next age band.
