Very professional team of people providing a one stop funeral services.
Like most of the younger generations, I am not familiar with the all the procedures and practices. However, with the help from Empathy Funeral Service, everything was well taken care of.
Everyone in the team is helpful and compassionate. They really helped us a lot especially during the difficult times… specifically Eugene, the team leader and owner of company. We were impressed by his professionalism, attitude, knowledge, and experience, even at his young age.
Very honest and reasonable pricing too.

Taoist funeral ritual
Taoist funeral rites
Many Taoist funeral rites entail:
- A priest chanting scriptures as musicians play percussion and woodwind instruments.
- Family and friends burning joss paper to free the departed spirit from the underworld.
Candles, lamps, rice, water and tea are also often used in Taoist funeral rituals, each with a symbolic purpose in helping the soul of the deceased.
We arrange for different Taoist funeral rites in Singapore to match the requirements of different dialect groups, including Teochew, Hokkien, and Zhao’an communities.
Hokkien funerals
As the departed is encoffined, Hokkien mourners perform a cleansing ritual involving “buying water” from the Earth Deity with joss paper and coins.
On the day of the funeral, a funeral oration is recited and family members make offerings as they’re called to the altar according to their relationship to the departed.
Teochew funerals
Before casketing, our funeral director will oversee the observance of Teochew funeral customs.
Crossing the Bridge is regarded as the most significant ritual of a Teochew funeral, in which a priest carries the departed’s Soul Lantern and leads the family across the bridge into the afterlife.
Zhao’an funerals
A combination of Teochew and Hokkien funeral rituals, Zhao’an funeral rites are rooted in customs originating from Zhao’an county in the Hokkien province of Fujian, close to the Teochew region of Chaozhou.
This often means organising Teochew and Hokkien priests to perform chanting ceremonies on different occasions.
