Still need to settle , takkan left the body there to rot

That's quite alot, pardon for asking what happens to the ashes?
are they kept somwhere like Nirvana?

Or thrown to the sea like my last best friend?

Kept at nirvana.

I opted for the 2nd option when i am gone. Informed my children oredi.

Can I assume your chinese then?

Is it a reccuring cost to be kept there, or a one off payment?

What about burial?

Advance by how long?

Yes

I think the payt all in.

Not sure about burial.

My wife wants 'bungalow'. Lol

Plan b4 death.

Advance how long .. cannot answer you. Death can happen anytime.

Last min, many opinions among children. Headache. So I just observed from the side after contributed my family portion.

Sufu said bow, I bow. Stand I stand.

That's expensive as heck
I think mine would be 1-2k max

When you are gone, you have no say actually. Depends on the children. Not sure my wish of throwing ashes in the sea will be fulfilled, instead kena lokap.

Anyone knows whats the process for malay?

Last time i remember in old malay neighborhood they have a group of surau people collecting khairat kematian from each house and will handle the body.

How's the process nowadays when you live in highrise/non malay majority area?

1. Call the ambulance / doc.
2. Then what?

XiaoEn cheaper, my grandma about RM20K + few years ago

My FIL,..I have no say.

How old are you?

If 60 and above passed at home, call the police to verify the death.
If 60 and below at home, call an ambulance.

If in hospital, easier. Can call direct to proceed to the funeral.

Then can contact ur respected agent/undertaker to take over all the necessary, such as which where to held the wake, what ceremony, embalmment, burial or cremation..

If u call funeral.home

They will do all for u, rigth?

If elderly passed away at home it’s like this ...

1. Call 999 / ambulance and wait for medical officer to confirm death
2. Call funeral parlor and wait for the funeral director to come over
3. Pick casket, funeral picture and funeral package
4. Clean the deceased and put in proper clothing for the deceased
5. Place deceased in casket
6. Inform relatives and friends
7. Start packing the deceased favorite personal belongings

The rest of the funeral procession just follow what the funeral director instructs.

Then along the way, someone will ask you if you want to bury or cremate. An agent will bring you to go see the columbarium / burial spot and discuss pricing.

In between you will need to report and obtain a death certificate.

Depending whether the deceased has any will. If none, family members will choose to clear all bank accounts and safe deposit boxes on the first or second day of the deceased passing to avoid complications from other family members and banks.

My guess is the joint account holder/authorized person doing this will not inform the bank of the death .
Very likely, the bank staff would have guessed something is amissed when all account s are cleard out at the same time.
Just wondering if most bank staff will just process the withdrawals despite this ?

you reported death to jabatan pendaftaran negara will auto trigger to bank negara. cash out before then.

i think the process are still the same.If im not wrong,the hospital can do the mandi jenazah and then the kariah will take it from it. But yes,the kariah will handle it at the end of the process.

They won’t ask if you’re the legit joint account holder.
