A steady hand,
a gentle farewell.
— Always there for you —
Led personally by Bobby Chan, who has spent over 15 years guiding families through loss. Dove Funeral Services was founded so every family gets his direct, unhurried care — not a call centre.
Why families call Bobby directly
Before starting Dove Funeral Services, Bobby spent over 15 years working within the funeral trade in Singapore, arranging wakes, coordinating rites, and sitting with families through some of their hardest days. That experience is the whole reason Dove exists.
In 2024, Bobby set up Dove Funeral Services so that families would deal with one person from the first phone call to the final rite — not a rotating roster of staff. It's a young company on paper, built on years of practice, and every case is still handled by Bobby himself.
Whether it's a Buddhist or Teochew prayer service, a Christian wake, or a Freethinker farewell, Bobby will walk you through what needs to happen, explain the costs plainly, and take care of the logistics — from booking the void deck to arranging transport to the crematorium.
Full funeral arrangement, start to finish
