Nirvana Memorial Garden Prayer Services
Prayers and rites for your loved one, from the first days after passing to the anniversaries that follow, held at Nirvana Memorial Garden in Choa Chu Kang in line with Chinese tradition and Buddhist practice.
Nirvana Memorial Garden arranges prayer services in line with Chinese funeral customs and Buddhist practice: prayers for the first year after passing, Zuo Qi, the 100-day and Dui Nian anniversaries, the 3rd year, the ending of the mourning period, interment and changing of urns, Shi Jin, and settling the ancestral tablet.
Why Prayer Services Matter
In Chinese tradition, funeral prayers and rituals begin from the moment a loved one passes away, and continue through the first year and beyond. They come from the virtue of filial piety, a way for the family to show respect and care for the departed.
Nirvana Memorial Garden brings these customs together with the inclusive practice of Buddhism, so families can hold each rite with dignity, in one place.
Prayers Through the First Year
The first year after passing holds many important rites: settling the spirit of the departed (An Ling), paying respects and offerings, Zuo Qi every seven days up to the 49th day, the 100-day prayers and Dui Nian, the first-year anniversary. Later rites mark the 3rd year and the ending of the mourning period.
Our team helps the family plan each rite, so nothing important is missed while you grieve.
