Getting to & Parking at Woodlands Memorial, Singapore Funeral Parlour & SG Casket

Address: 7 Woodlands Industrial Park E8, Singapore 758969. Nearest MRT stations are Woodlands and Admiralty.

By bus: Bus 169 runs from Woodlands MRT to Woodlands Memorial. It's usually 8 stops, though it's currently running as 7 stops due to ongoing roadworks, this may shift back once works are completed, so check with the driver if you're unsure which stop to alight at. The stop is outside the HDB Institute of Research.

By shuttle: A free shuttle service operates from 9am to 9pm. It requires booking at least 1 hour in advance. Note that the official booking information online can be out of date, so it's worth calling ahead to confirm current timings rather than relying solely on the website.

Parking: Woodlands Memorial has on-site parking across levels 2 to 4 of the building, the most generous of the three venues covered here. If you're attending a wake, driving in is genuinely the easiest option at this venue.

Address: 91 Tampines Link, Singapore 528746. Just off Exit 4B of the Tampines Expressway (TPE), near IKEA Tampines, and a short ride from Tampines MRT and Bus Interchange.

By bus: Bus 72 from Tampines Interchange, alight at Opp Tampines Dormitory (about 6 stops), then a roughly 6-minute walk. Alternatively, Bus 68 or 172 from Tampines Interchange, alight at Bef Tampines Link (about 7 stops), then a short walk north onto Tampines Link.

Parking here is the real friction point at this venue. Singapore Funeral Parlour officially has two basement carpark levels (Basement 1 and 2), with roughly 55 lots between them. That sounds reasonable until you consider the venue holds 8 wake halls that can seat anywhere from 32 to over 200 guests each, meaning total visitor numbers on a busy day can run into the hundreds. 55 lots simply isn't enough at that scale.

Real visitors have flagged exactly this. One reviewer noted that the venue's "free parking" isn't actually located within the parlour itself, meaning family members bringing food or supplies often end up either lugging items a distance from an off-site lot, or paying steep rates just to unload near the entrance. Another reviewer was more direct, describing the on-site parking rate as more than double what an equivalent HDB carpark would charge, despite the location not being especially premium.

Address: 131 Lavender Street, Singapore 338737.

By MRT: Bendemeer Station (Downtown Line) is the closest, about a 2-minute walk from Exit A or B. Lavender Station (East West Line) is about an 8-minute walk from Exit B. Boon Keng Station (North East Line) is about a 10-minute walk from Exit C.

By bus: Several services stop right outside on Lavender Street, including 13, 61, 67, 107, 107M, 133, 141, 145, 175, and 961. Given the range of options, Singapore Casket is one of the easier venues to reach without a car.

Parking: Singapore Casket has no dedicated on-site carpark. Parking is entirely via nearby public options within a short walk:

• Street parking along Tyrwhitt Road, Hamilton Road, Cavan Road, and Foch Road • Open-space carpark along Hamilton Road • Jalan Besar Sports Stadium multi-storey carpark • Jalan Besar Stadium basement carpark (entrance via Tyrwhitt Road) • ARC 380

All of these sit within about 2 to 4 minutes' walk of the venue. Given its central location, this is a spot where taking public transport, or a taxi or ride-hail directly to the door, is genuinely more convenient than driving.
