SocietyShared ferry service for scattering ashes at sea to launch in 2027
From the second half of 2027, families in Singapore can apply for a shared ferry service to scatter loved ones’ ashes at sea for S$50 per application. Private trips currently cost a few hundred dollars or more. Ash scattering is becoming more common, while annual deaths are projected to rise by about half by 2040.
