CNA, I want to applaud you for doing a series about lonely deaths and shedding light on the issues and the people who do the very difficult but critically important work that comes with each death in the community, be it the cleaning up or helping to take care of their last rites/funeral etc. I'm very very heartened to know we have such caring, kind and compassionate people in Singapore to help those who have passed on, on their own. Thank you very much to all of you for all that you do because it must not be easy on you.

I noticed that there haven't been many comments about Marie. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to her. Coming to a foreign land and helping our fellow Singaporeans is truly commendable. It's even more noteworthy than what many Singaporeans do. Thank you, Marie, for stepping up beyond nationalities to help Uncle Peter. May you be blessed with health and happiness 🫡

My admiration for the volunteers; especially the founder and d the lady who have so much compassion to do this for total strangers who died alone.

Marie, you are an angel in helping uncle Peter who has no family in his last journey to meet his maker.

I remembered when I was a young nursing aide in an old age home. I sent an elderly off..all the way to the grave yard..it felt good. That was the only time needed. Thankfully my two years there..all who passed on..had relatives to take them away! I myself am in my sixties now! Feeling good also. May all have a good day

I dont mind to die alone neither do i wish to live long. As a healthcare worker i have seen many patients regretted living well. Living life FULLY while alive is more important than dying. Death is part of living and we donno when will we go or who is around us when we go. Rip to the deceased.

Dying alone is my biggest fear, and I live in Hawaii. What you folks are doing to help is God send. No one should die alone especially with all the communication available. God bless

[@celestialstar124]

Can i request you to send some prayers to these kind volunteers? A big thank you isn't enough. I pray that all those volunteers are blessed with good health and a happy life.

Thank you Cheng Hong volunteers for all the work you do. ❤

[@Pushkin62]

The volunteers from Cheng Hong are truly amazing by going out of their way to see the lonely elderly off on their last journey. Jack Lee of Affinity Funeral Directors is taking on a trade which few people of his generation would consider.
