Cremation arrangements
Embrace books the cremation and includes the Mandai Crematorium fee. Ask the funeral director about time for a final viewing or a short blessing at the service hall.
Collection of ashes
Ash collection is included. Embrace can also help arrange an urn, placement in a niche, or scattering at sea or inland if your family wishes.
What to discuss with your family
- Let the team know if you would like a short prayer or chanting session before cremation.
- Have identification for your loved one and their next of kin ready, along with the clothes you would like your loved one to wear.
- Tell the team if your loved one left instructions about their ashes.
The timing depends on crematorium availability. Ask Embrace to confirm the cremation slot and any additional arrangements.
