Buddhist Funerals and Customs
Buddhists hold the belief that Karma, the accumulation of one’s actions, has a significant impact on the process of reincarnation. The quality and quantity of Karma acquired throughout a person’s lifetime determine the nature of their next rebirth. When a Buddhist passes away, their body is traditionally bathed and dressed in preparation for the funeral. This ceremony is meant to be a simple, dignified, and solemn expression of grief.
A Buddhist funeral in Singapore typically involves specific procedures led by chanting monks. The purpose of these rituals is to ease the deceased’s transition into the next life. More than just a display of filial piety or a final act of love, the proper execution of funeral activities allows the bereaved family to find peace and closure. It is believed that supporting the deceased in their afterlife journey is essential through this send-off ceremony. By adhering to these practices, Buddhists seek to honor their departed loved ones and provide them with a meaningful farewell as they embark on their new journey beyond this life.
