Since the turn of the century, I hv never being a Hirer, alway a relief, relief allow me to take other jobs like new cars unloading at PSA west coast, Marine engine contractors, etc etc including casket handling as an apprentice and taxi super relief.
Now, age has catching up with me, childrens all grow up and working, just sit back abit, work/drive less abit.
Life is not abt driving Driving all day and end up no life.
If can bao ka liao, means can keep all the monies to himself. I read that a freelance embalmer also became a funeral boss later.
I saw that 25 out of 30 registered undertakers in Singapore are family-run businesses. So its a good business that descendants are keen to takeover unlike provision shops, etc.
My kids are still very young and I have a long way to go...
How do you commit your time to do casket handling since it is always on-call? If you need to collect the body, you travel back to the casketeer and drive their car to the hospital to fetch the body?

Not all are successful, most who run the business are sai kong, priest, monks and iman themselves, they will do the ritual on the final day only, the rest done by their assistant, and yes, it is a lucrative job with high markup prices with no market control nor rejection, it is all about services. -

Embalming services I noted that Australia and New Zealand have courses but its too far to learn and expensive.
Can intro me into this line? I'm staying near Outram Park only. I can work in the weekends and after office hours only.

You can alway approach Singapore Casket and apply, this type of job still need introducing meh??? I introduce pple this type of job also paiseh. Last time, when I was very broke, I parked my old crown taxi at lavender and hv some food at the old food centre, then walk up to Sg casket, saw pple uploading empty casket, asked the guy, he just said, go in and take an application. Also nobody introduce me.

Oic... ok noted. I want to try embalming as a freelancer to see if I'm meant for this trade. If successful, I can start learning the trade and hopefully can form a business that can pass down to my kids.

Wa lau, luckycabby, it's actually a good thinker man. Why not? Use UberX or GrabCar to book a bus, motorcycle, hearse, etc. very creative actually.. no additional overheads for UberX mah... just add more categories of vehicles only mah.
At hospitals, alot of family members blur cos loved ones suddenly passed away. At a loss of what to do, UberX or GrabCar could educate the customers first so that they could remember that they can also book a hearse to do the necessary fetching of the body from the morgue to the undertaker.

Because you like to Wait outside CBD area, you like to wait at non peak period to take cab and lastly, you like to stand by the street and try yr luck

I saw a casket co. looking for staff in facebook and I contacted him. He asked if I drive and have class 3 or 4 licence. I said yes and I have class 3 licence. He asked me to go for an interview as a funeral director. I have not met him yet.
I researched and noted that his young daughter is helping in his business. I will ask how much is the pay but do you know roughly how much does an employee funeral director earns?
