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.

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.

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.
