What pre-planning should mean to Singaporeans?


Is death really a taboo subject? No matter how uncomfortable this subject can be, we are not immortals and death is inevitable. Planning ahead or pre-arrangement is one of the most responsible virtue one can offer to their loved ones. A well prepared funeral service for your loved ones, means that it is an opportunity to properly remember and celebrate his or her life as well as to express the love, gratitude and respect of a passing of a human life. Without proper pre-planning, the passing away of loved ones can cause very high emotional distress. Without such preparedness, it may even cause another to break down easily. Pre-planning is definitely not a taboo but the greatest respect for a life well lived.

Stated below may be some of the reasons one chooses to do a pre-planned funeral:

  1. Protect emotional security and demonstration of eternal love; as discussed earlier, the passing away of a loved one who has done his or her pre-planning is a responsible virtue as they do not want to cause further hurt or distress to their loved ones.
  2. Celebrate a life and honoring a memory; by putting down your wishes on paper, one can give themselves the opportunity to choose the way you want to be remembered. Your loved ones will know exactly how to celebrate your life and honor your memory. One can also decide their final resting place to be, such as the Nirvana Columbarium or the Nirvana Memorial Garden.
  3. Allocating funds as funeral expenses to prevent miscommunication within the family; funeral services can be quite costly, if one can decide how much to spend for a funeral while he or she is alive, they can eliminate the chances of family disputes arising from confusion due to distress coupled with non-preparedness.

Last but not least, or most importantly, pre-planning is the most responsible thing to do because you love your close ones as much as they love you!
