FELIPE SANTOS

A well-received and recognized individual in Singapore’s embalming sector; Santos came from an entire family of embalmers! Happily married with a loving wife and 3 sons who are also embalmers.

Santos arrived on Singapore’s shores back in 1975.

To Santos, embalming is not just a job, but is a mission of the heart. Having embalmed countless bodies throughout his career span, one of the most memorable moment was to embalm a 1-day old baby, which broke his heart.

His advice to any aspiring embalmers is to work with a sincere heart, the returns will be incalculable eventually.

Santos has seen a variety of cases through his embalming and restorative career and hope to see a new generation of embalmers to take over; bring the embalming scene to a brand-new level.

JOHN KARLO SANTOS

Treasurer

We were in awe when we got to know that Jolo’s aspirations was to become a priest or a pilot!

​

At a tender age of 17, Jolo (as we addressed him by) helped his dad in embalming and realized that embalming is a much fulfilling job to be considered as a career.

Without any hesitation, he dived into the world of embalming and he has never regretted. ‘The biggest misconception that the general public has on an embalmer is that this is a ‘dirty’ job’ as he claimed.

​

Many a times, when anyone was to ask what is his profession, the word ‘embalmer’ would leave most in questions, however in admiration thereafter.

​

While many people thought embalmers make tonnes of money, Jolo believes in doing his job with his utmost sincerity. He hoped the general public would look at embalmers in a different light - Away from ‘dirty’ but noble yet humble.

QUEENIE NG HUI NI

"There was a case where I embalmed a young kid. I came to get to know the mother when I visited the wake. Despite losing her child, she influenced everyone with her positiveness for life.

Since becoming an Embalmer at the age of 35, I have never regretted as I consider this to be noble and giving.’
