Family misses cremation at Mandai due to error
A grieving family was unable to send off an 85-year-old man as he was cremated in the wrong furnace at the
Mandai Crematorium and
Columbarium Complex yesterday.
Angered by the incident, the family argued with crematorium staff members for three hours and police were even called in, Shin Min Daily News reported yesterday.
The dead man,
Soh Kang Gee, was supposed to be cremated in the furnace within sight of the crematorium's Viewing Hall 2 yesterday morning.
Mr Soh's son-in-law, who wanted to be known only as Mr Tan, 60, told Shin Min that some 30 family members had turned up at the hall at about 9.15am to recite prayers. The dead man had one son and five daughters.
But 15 minutes later, the family still had not seen Mr Soh's casket and thought that something was amiss.
