Pro-Bono Support for Families with Financial Difficulties
The need to make urgent decisions during funeral preparations within a short timeframe may require immediate out-of-pocket costs. For families facing financial difficulty, this can be overwhelming.
Halijah Funeral Services offers pro-bono support to help bridge this urgent gap.
Selected families may receive immediate guidance and funeral assistance so their loved one can be cared for with dignity, without the family being left alone during a time of grief and financial stress.
Who May Be Eligible:
- Low-income families unable to manage immediate funeral costs
- Families with no available savings at the time of death
- Elderly next-of-kin with limited financial support
- Families waiting for formal assistance or community support
- Cases where relatives are unavailable, overseas, or unable to contribute in time
- Families who need urgent guidance and discreet support
*Pro-bono funeral support is subject to assessment, available resources, and the circumstances of each case. Families are encouraged to reach out as early as possible.
“We strongly believe that the care and burial of a deceased Muslim is a deeply important communal responsibility. Families should not feel that proper funeral care is out of reach simply because they are facing financial difficulty.
Every Muslim deserves to be cared for with dignity, compassion, and proper religious guidance. When support can be extended, our goal is to help ease the burden on the family while ensuring the funeral is carried out respectfully, Insya Allah.”

What Families Ask Us
Frequently Asked Questions
Pro-bono funeral support refers to selected funeral assistance for families who may not be able to manage the cost of a Muslim funeral in Singapore. It is assessed on a case-by-case basis and is subject to availability, urgency, and the family’s circumstances.
Because Islamic rites require burial as soon as possible (ideally within 24 hours), private pro bono providers like us can perform rapid, compassionate internal assessments within hours of contact. Formal government assistance (like MSF ComCare funeral grants) can take days to process, which is why emergency pro bono support is vital to bridge the immediate gap.
Pro bono support is strictly reserved for families facing severe financial distress, subject to assessment and resource availability. Key indicators include families residing in highly subsidised HDB rental flats, households with no active income earners, cases referred by medical social workers, or families currently receiving ComCare/MSF public assistance.
HFS considers each case based on the family’s situation, urgency, financial difficulty, and available support resources. The team may ask for basic details to understand the circumstances before advising on the next step.
