Funeral Planning (Farewell Ceremony)

How We Can Help

A funeral service is the occasion for a loved one to bid a formal farewell to the world. When you are planning one for the first time, there is much to understand, from customs and procedures to the venue and paperwork. We listen to the stories you share about your loved one; whether traditional and solemn or modern and warm, with Buddhist, Taoist, and Christian rites all available, we tailor a complete funeral service for you.

Service Process

1. Needs consultation: we learn your faith, budget, and family expectations and provide a transparent quote
2. Funeral coordination: auspicious date selection, funeral hall rental, obituary preparation, and scheduling
3. Memorial altar setup: hall arrangement and guidance on daily mourning rites, so the family knows what to do each day
4. Encoffining: care of your loved one’s body and guidance through the ceremony of placing them in the coffin
5. Funeral service day: family rites (the family’s part of the ceremony), public memorial (the open tribute session for friends and colleagues), and the funeral procession—every detail carried out by our professional team
