My Community Festival 2024

Ang Chin Moh Funeral Directors and Ang Chin Moh Foundation Joins My Community for the 2024 My Community Festival

Together with Ang Chin Moh Foundation, Ang Chin Moh Funeral Directors join in the My Community Festival 2024, themed “My Last Journey”. It starts on November 1 till November 17 at various locations.

With a rich history spanning 112 years, Ang Chin Moh Funeral Directors is devoted to delivering caring, compassionate and dignified funeral services that respect Singapore’s diverse cultural traditions. Complementing this commitment, Ang Chin Moh Foundation strives to enhance public understanding of end-of-life issues and advocate for the cultural heritage of funeral practices through education and outreach initiatives.

My Community is a non-profit organisation focused on fostering connections and cultural appreciation in Singapore. This year, the My Community Festival invites participants to explore vital themes surrounding life and death. The festival’s theme, “My Last Journey,” encourages attendees to engage with various cultural practices related to end-of-life rituals.

Our collaboration with My Community is particularly complementary, as both organizations share a commitment to enhancing public understanding of the importance of cultural practices in funeral services. Through our participation, we aim to create a bridge between the community and the cultural significance of these practices.

In support of the festival’s mission, Ang Chin Moh Funeral Directors and Ang Chin Moh Foundation will present two special programs aimed at educating the public on the evolving landscape of funeral services: “How Have Our Funerals Changed Over the Years?” on 9 November, at Kreta Ayer Square, and “Wind Beneath My Wings – My Funeral Director Ang Ziqian from Ang Chin Moh Funeral Directors” on 10 November, at our Toa Payoh funeral home.

Additionally, attendees can immerse themselves in the rich history of Chinatown and Sago Lane at My Chinatown Festival Village, featuring exhibits, performances, and storytelling that highlight its unique traditions. To honour Chinatown’s cultural heritage, we will also host a special exhibition titled “Navigating Piety: Customs and Practices for the Afterlife” from 2 to 10 November, at Kreta Ayer Square.

Ang Ziqian, Managing Director of Ang Chin Moh Funeral Directors and Founder of Ang Chin Moh Foundation, emphasizes, “Death is an end to the physical form of life. But it is not an end to the relationship with our dearly departed.” He adds, “Recognising death can encourage us to plan ahead of time, helping our loved ones to live well, and grieve well.”

Through our involvement in the My Community Festival, we aim to inspire meaningful conversations about life, death, and the cultural practices that shape our understanding of these experiences. Our goal for this year’s festival is to enhance public awareness of the significance of cultural practices in funeral services and to foster open dialogue about the journey we all share.

We invite the public to engage with us in this enriching festival, as we believe that together, we can deepen our collective appreciation for life and legacy.
