Death in Singapore is no longer a subject kept behind closed doors. As people live longer and families navigate increasingly complex end-of-life journeys, conversations about dying, grief and remembrance are becoming more open and personal. In this feature, The Straits Times explores how funerals, palliative care and attitudes towards death have evolved over a generation, giving rise to new approaches that focus on meaning, legacy and connection. Among them is Life Review, a growing practice that encourages people to reflect on their life stories, values and relationships, helping families preserve memories and create space for important conversations long before a final goodbye.
