By Benjamin Poon · Updated 2026-10-23 · 5 min readWho is this guide for?
It is for sons and daughters looking ahead for their parents, and for older people who would like to choose for themselves. Many prefer a place they can reach easily from home in the east.
A note on the name
Different pages write the name differently: 天灵总道堂, Thian Leng Temple or Tian Ling Temple. We use 天灵总道堂 (Thian Leng Chong Toh Tong) for now and will update it once confirmed.
Niche or ancestral tablet?
A niche (骨灰位 or 福位) holds the urn of ashes. An ancestral tablet (神主牌) carries the name of the departed for the family to pay respects; it does not hold ashes. See our guide to niches vs ancestral tablets.
Questions families ask
Benjamin is a consultant, not the temple. He tells you plainly what he can arrange himself and what you should confirm with the temple.
- What is available here now: niches, tablets, or both?
- How do we book a visit? (Another listing says appointments are needed.)
- Are there prayer sessions at Qing Ming or Zhong Yuan?
- Is the venue easy for elderly parents to walk around?
Getting there
The address is 472 Changi Road, Singapore 419890. We have not found a reliable source for bus or MRT directions, so none are listed. Benjamin will share directions when he arranges your visit.
Preview only. These points will be confirmed with Benjamin before the site goes live:
- Confirm the exact name and characters (天灵总道堂 vs 天灵总道寺).
- Benjamin to confirm which services he can arrange here; the address comes from third-party listings.
