Poor wood quality?​

According to another expert in the funeral industry, this could be the first time in Singapore that a casket has fallen in such a manner.

He explained: "The broken pole is a short wooden bar in the front which usually doesn't break easily. I believe this might have been caused by poor wood quality."

To amend the situation, the expert explained to 8world that the shop or family can do something auspicious to resolve this issue.

It was an accident, funeral company says​

The funeral company involved in this incident is Alliance Casket and Funerals, 8world reported.

Speaking with 8world, a spokesperson of Alliance Casket and Funerals shared that this was caused by a pole that broke.

And the casket was supported by the deceased's friends and family, not shop employees, they added.

We haven't spoken with the family, but at the moment they understand that this was an accident. No one wanted this to happen," the spokesperson said.

Responding to queries by AsiaOne, Alliance Casket and Funerals confirmed that the pole broke but declined to comment further.

At a funeral procession under a HDB block at block 5, Jalan Batu in Mountbatten, a casket carried by a group of people fell on the road, as onlookers watched in shock

That is a low SES neighbourhood. But I do like the vintage design of the HDB flats there, reminds me a bit of Bukit Merah or Circuit Road.

A little bit further south at the Fort Road and Meyer Road area is where the high SES folks live.
