Ash Collection
(For Cremation only) |

The Funeral Director will arrange the time of collection with the bereaved family for suitable time, at the family’s convenience to collect the ashes. If the cremation is in the morning, the earliest possible time for collection of ashes is from 2.30pm to 4pm of the same day. If the cremation is carried out in the afternoon, the ashes can be collected on the following day 8.30am onwards |

Post Funeral Arrangements |
| |
The final resting place will be at the columbarium. The funeral director will arrange the contractor to see the family on the plaque installation for the selected niche
To those who chooses to place their urns at private columbaria, some of these private columbaria (e.g. All Saints Memorial Chapel and Spiritual Grace Memorial Garden) have their own in-house contractor whom the family have to contract to carry out the stone and installation works
For those who choose sea burial, Peace Casket will arrange the necessary arrangement (e.g. hiring of boats)
For Burial arrangements, our Funeral Directors will arrange the marble contractor to see the family regarding the plaque or monument installation at the burial plot
Other alternatives for the final resting place, like putting of ashes at home or for sending overseas can also be arranged. Let us know your preferences |
