What happens after we’re gone? For many queer individuals, afterlife planning remains an overlooked yet essential aspect of securing dignity and care for ourselves and our chosen families. This presentation explores how queer people can take control of their afterlife plans despite the lack of LGBTQ+-inclusive services in Singapore’s funeral industry. Key insights from a survey conducted on afterlife care needs of the LGBTQ+ community will be shared and discussed, shedding light on the gaps, challenges, and possibilities of this space. Join us for an engaging discussion on how we can navigate this deeply personal journey with awareness, curiosity and solidarity.
