Arriving from Nan’an County in Quanzhou, Fujian province, our founder, Mr. Ang See Karr saw the need for quality and essential funeral services for the Chinese community in Singapore. He founded Ang Chin Huat Casket in 1912 operating from a shophouse at Upper Pickering Street . Ang Chin Huat Casket is one of the first few funeral companies established in Singapore and is a pioneer of the local funeral profession.

Besides Ang Chin Huat Casket, we set up Ang Chin Moh Undertakers. Ang Chin Moh Undertakers then renamed itself to Ang Chin Moh Funeral Directors as it transitioned towards a modern and professional service provider. Over the years, we moved into several premises, from Rochore Road to old Liang Seah Street. Today, we are in new premises at Block 88 Geylang Bahru. Having served families for over a century is a testament to our service excellence. Ang Chin Moh Funeral Directors remains committed to serving families with care, compassion, and dignity.

Our milestones include the grooming of Singapore’s first female embalmer in 1990, the setting up of Western Casket in 2000 to cater to the needs of the Christian community. Flying Home was also set up for the repatriation needs of Singaporeans and foreign nationals. In 2010, the fourth-generation owner of Ang Chin Moh Funeral Directors, Mr. Ang Ziqian successfully got the lease of the disused Mount Vernon Columbarium site. Following extensive renovations, the disused crematorium was turned into Mount Vernon Sanctuary, offering 6-star funeral service halls for grieving families and other funeral directors. Mr Ang Ziqian saw the need to dispel the fears and taboos surrounding dying, death, and funerals through public education. He set up the Ang Chin Moh Foundation in 2012 to focus its aim of enhancing perception of death and bereavement among the public, through philanthropic causes, public education, research, and heritage preservation.
