What To Do Next
1. Administrative Matters
Handle all official and financial processes related to the deceased.
a. Death Certification & Registration
Ensure you have the official Death Certificate from the hospital or doctor.
Keep multiple copies (digital + printed) — needed for banks, CPF, insurance, etc.
b. Legal & Estate Matters
Locate the will (wasiat), if one exists.
Apply for:
Grant of Probate (if will exists), or
Letters of Administration (if no will).
For Muslim estates, apply to the Syariah Court for Faraid (Islamic inheritance distribution).
c. Financial & Property Matters
Claim CPF savings via CPF Board or Public Trustee.
Notify insurance companies for life or accident policies.
Close or transfer bank accounts, utilities, and property ownership (HDB, vehicles, etc.).
If the deceased was the main provider, approach MUIS, SSO, or MENDAKI for temporary financial aid.
2. Tahlil Prayers & Religious Observances
Continue spiritual remembrance for the deceased.
Tahlil or Yasin readings may be held at home, at a mosque, or online.
Commonly done on the 3rd, 7th, 40th, and 100th day — though frequency depends on cultural practice (not religious obligation).
Invite family and close friends to recite Yasin, doa, and zikir for the deceased.
Some families prepare simple food or porridge to share with guests (avoid extravagance).
Keep the focus on dua and remembrance, not ceremony.
Tip: Contact your local mosque — many have imams or volunteers who can lead tahlil sessions or provide doa booklets.
3. Grave Maintenance
Preserving dignity and cleanliness of the burial site.
Visit the grave as a form of dua and reflection, not worship.
Clean the area gently — remove weeds, straighten soil, and pour water (symbolic act of mercy).
You may plant simple greenery or flowers.
Plaque or tombstone:
Temporary name markers are usually provided.
Families can install a simple permanent headstone (in line with MUIS cemetery guidelines).
Optional:
Engage a grave maintenance service for regular cleaning or upkeep, especially before Ramadan.
4. Charity Work (Sedekah Jariyah)
Continue spiritual remembrance for the deceased.
Tahlil or Yasin readings may be held at home, at a mosque, or online.
Commonly done on the 3rd, 7th, 40th, and 100th day — though frequency depends on cultural practice (not religious obligation).
Invite family and close friends to recite Yasin, doa, and zikir for the deceased.
Some families prepare simple food or porridge to share with guests (avoid extravagance).
Keep the focus on dua and remembrance, not ceremony.
Tip: Contact your local mosque — many have imams or volunteers who can lead tahlil sessions or provide doa booklets.
