The actual funeral service can take place on a Sunday, at any time after Mass has been finished, or in a temple or a Taoist cemetery.

Taoist funeral services are based on the idea that Jesus was raised from the dead, that he is interred with his body and is present with all the faithful, until the end of time. Taoist beliefs are different than Buddhist beliefs, but they share in the concept that a person is saved at conception and will live eternally. Taoist believe that salvation is through the prayers of the individual. They also believe that salvation is accomplished at the moment of death, so that the soul is eternally blessed.

The five-day funeral services and burial are traditionally used in Singapore. The body is not present at the actual service, as it is not considered to be an authentic burial, nor is the crucifix, which is a religious symbol of Christianity that was left by Jesus Christ. Instead, the funeral mass is conducted in the afternoon, after the services have been completed with the burial. The body is then present in the temple, the following day, at which point the families and friends gather to say goodbye to the deceased. In some cases, the body is not present during the actual service because it has been refrigerated or preserved at the funeral home before being transported to the cemetery. The five-day funeral services are used for all types of funerals, and there are several different types of Taoist funeral services.
