在我們 #新加坡 这么发达的国家里，还有这些看低我們行业的人😅 真是的无语😓
不要忘记：我们这个行业也是为民服務🙏
不要忘记：我们也是受人尊敬的🫡
不要忘记：如果病毒🦠來襲，我们也是前线的一份子😏
为什么要处处为难我们？ 😭😭😭
📌 为什么要把我们赶走😭😭😭
In life and in death, dignity matters. Yet in Singapore’s fast-developing industrial and commercial landscape, an unseen form of discrimination continues to persist — against funeral service providers simply seeking space to store caskets.
Caskets are a vital part of any funeral arrangement. These are not morbid items nor health hazards. They are essential tools of respect — clean, unused, and carefully crafted to honour lives lost. Yet, despite their importance, many property owners and managing bodies refuse to allow casket storage in industrial spaces, citing vague discomfort or fear of affecting other tenants.
But what exactly are they objecting to?
Let us be clear: casket storage does not involve bodies, rituals, or public display. The caskets are kept in their original packaging, in well-maintained units that comply with all safety, hygiene, and fire safety regulations. If a warehouse can store tiles, wood, and machinery — why not caskets?
At the heart of this discrimination is a social stigma against death and the funeral trade. This misunderstanding not only hampers our operations, it dishonours the very role we play in helping families give their loved ones a dignified farewell. We are professionals — no different from florists, caterers, or logistics providers.
Our staff work with compassion, discipline, and deep respect for both the living and the dead. But how can we carry out our duties with dignity, if society continues to push our work to the margins?
We are not asking for special treatment. We are asking for equal access to industrial space, like any other legal, licensed business. The rejection of casket storage is not just about logistics — it is a reflection of how society views death as taboo, instead of a natural part of life.
In a modern, inclusive society, deathcare should not be discriminated against. It should be understood, supported, and integrated — so that every family, regardless of race or religion, can give their loved ones a proper goodbye.
It’s time we stop hiding death in the shadows and instead, extend dignity and support to those who serve the final chapter of life.
