What to Do When a Muslim Dies Outside of Singapore
Immediate Steps After Death
When a loved one passes away abroad, it’s important to act swiftly and follow the proper procedures to ensure a respectful and smooth repatriation. Below is an outline of the essential steps involved:
Step 1: Application for Coffin (Import) Permit
The process begins with an application for a Coffin (Import) Permit from the Port Health Office in Singapore. This permit is required to bring the body back into the country legally.
Step 2: Documents Required for Coffin Permit Issuance
To obtain the permit, the following documents are typically required:
– Certified true copy of the overseas death certificate
– Embalming certificate (if applicable)
– Coffin sealing certificate
– Letter from the overseas funeral director or hospital
– Air Waybill and flight details (for repatriation by air)
Step 3: Fees
The application for the Coffin Permit may incur a nominal processing fee, subject to current regulatory guidelines. Our team will advise on the applicable charges and assist with payment procedures.
Step 4: Death Registration in Singapore
Once the body arrives in Singapore, the death must be officially registered with the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA). This is a mandatory step before burial arrangements can proceed.
Step 5: Documents Required for Death Registration
The family will need to present the following:
– Original overseas death certificate
– NRIC or passport of the deceased (if available)
– Coffin Permit
– Embalming and sealing certificates
At Jasa Budi Muslim Casket, our repatriation services in Singapore cover the full spectrum of these steps, offering families the peace of mind that all documentation and logistics are handled with care and efficiency. Our goal is to honour the deceased with dignity and provide full support to grieving families throughout the repatriation process.
Engaging Repatriation Services
Jasa Budi Muslim Casket Services provides repatriation assistance in Singapore. We help in transporting the deceased from abroad back to their home country. These services include the entire process, from preparing the body according to Islamic customs — such as performing the ritual washing (ghusl) and shrouding (kafan) — to coordinating with airlines for the transportation of the body. We also manage the extensive paperwork required for repatriation, including securing permits and complying with both local and international regulations.
Considerations for Islamic Burial
Once the body arrives in Singapore, it is usually transported directly to a mosque or funeral home. Here, the funeral prayer (Salat al-Janazah) is performed, followed by the burial. It’s important to note that Islamic tradition emphasises a swift burial, ideally within 24 hours of death. Therefore, engaging a funeral director and repatriation services that understand and respect these religious obligations is vital to ensure the process is completed in a timely manner.
Financial and Logistical Support
Repatriation can be expensive, so it’s advisable to check whether the deceased had insurance that covers such costs. Our repatriation services in Singapore offer comprehensive packages that include not only the transport of the body but also assistance with paperwork, translation services, and coordination with local authorities. Family members should inquire about all available options to ensure that the process is as smooth and stress-free as possible during this difficult time.
Our Repatriation Services from Singapore
We provide complete repatriation services to support families in transporting their loved ones with dignity and care. Our services cover both the import and export of the deceased, whether by land or air, and are conducted in accordance with Islamic traditions as well as international regulations. Every step is managed with precision to ensure a smooth, respectful, and timely process.
Funeral Rituals Before Embarking on the Journey
As part of our commitment to Islamic customs, we perform essential funeral rites before the deceased begins their final journey. This includes the ritual washing (ghusl), shrouding (kafan), and prayers, ensuring that religious obligations are fulfilled before the body is transported.
Embalming
For international transfers, embalming is often required by airlines and health authorities. Our team collaborates with certified professionals to complete this process in accordance with international standards, ensuring the safe and lawful transportation of the deceased across borders.
Coffin Sealing
After embalming, the coffin is sealed securely to meet international air transport regulations. Proper sealing helps preserve the body during transit and ensures that all safety and regulatory requirements are met, avoiding unnecessary delays.
Export Paperwork
Repatriation involves extensive documentation, including death certificates, permits, and airline clearances. We manage all the paperwork on behalf of the family, liaising with authorities both locally and abroad to ensure that every legal requirement is fulfilled before departure.
Our Prices
The cost of our repatriation services will vary based on the following factors:
- Air freight rate
- Weight of the deceased
- Import/export destination
