Has someone you know passed away all of a sudden? If yes, then for sure you know how much it hurts to lose someone. Much worse, if that someone was the one you loved the most. You see, last year was a very ominous year for me. I lost a lot of people in my life, my grandmother, aunt, and my best friend. I thought life would give me a break of losing someone I love, but I was wrong. Death took my fiancé away from me. Instead of calculating the budget for our wedding, here I am, checking the cost of his funeral services.
Happens Without a Warning
Life is indeed cruel to me. I thought this year would be a good one, but I was wrong. Despite having everything planned, things could go wrong. Or go the other way around. Again, I lost someone I loved. My fiancé died without any warning. It just so happened that he took his last breath away in his sleep. I thought his brother was joking with me, but I know him so well. He would not joke things like this, especially the day after his brother, my fiancé proposed to me. When I heard about it, I thought twice and figured that I might have misheard him. So, I asked him again and again until I could no longer utter a word to ask. His answer remained the same, and so was, my response. I still could not believe that the man of my dreams, the man I want to grow old with and have children and grandchildren already passed away right before he became mine.
Preparing for His Buddhist Funeral Services
You see, we have been together for ten years. We already travelled to several countries together, ate different cuisines, and even overcame so many quarrels. We spent so much time together that we wished to spend more, but on the very next day, I said yes, he passed away. What we planned for our wedding went down the drain, we were supposed to get married next year. After all of these situations, this pandemic has calmed down and after our beloveds’ death anniversary. However, who knew that instead of preparing for our wedding, I would be checking out a funeral package in Singapore.
His mother told me so since she knew how much it hurts me to lose him. So, I did what she asked me to do. I prepared his Buddhist funeral services in Singapore so his family and friends could send their farewell to him. Even though I was not able to marry this man in this lifetime, I know I will marry him in my next life. Well, enough of that chit-chat and let me tell you how I prepared his funeral services.
Remember what I have mentioned earlier that a lot of people I loved died last year? That was true! Since I prepared so much last year, planning his Buddhist funeral services in Singapore has become a lot easier. Although I could not still think straight, somehow I was able to plan it well. Well, of course, that is thanks to the funeral parlour that helped me. It was the one that helped me last year, and they feel sorry that it happened to me this year.
If I remember correctly, last year I prepared a Christian funeral service for my aunt, while for my grandmother, I planned her Taoist funeral services. Even though planning these ceremonies was not easy, I am glad I did so I could send them off well. I was able to convey my thoughts and emotions on how much I loved them, and I did the same with my fiancé’s.
Changes of Planning a Funeral This 2020
However, since there is still a pandemic going on, I could not do so much. What I did was stream the ceremony so that everyone could see it without visiting the funeral parlour in person. I even asked them one by one when they will be visiting so that I could control the number of people. Even though it was so time-consuming, I am glad I did it. None of the visitors was or got infected. His funeral services went smoothly, and the cost of it was much more affordable than I expected. I thought it would cost thousands of dollars more but only increases a little bit more than last year’s.
All in all, despite how complicated the process of preparing Buddhist funeral services this year in Singapore, Ang Chin Moh has been a great help! I am glad I chose them again since they helped me so much last year. So, if you think you need help planning a funeral, feel free to contact them as I did.
