QUOTE(tatmeng @ Dec 29 2023, 11:55 AM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « My father is at hospital now. Don’t think can make it these few days Hence start to prepare for the funeral. Already got a burial ground back in hometown. It’s a shared lot with my grandparents and uncles.
Just a matter to go through the rites and bring back to hometown. Plan to have the funeral service in KL before, cremate and bring back the ashes to hometown
How to kickstart the whole thing?
Either Taoist or Buddhist rite. Likely Taoist. The funeral shop will approach the family? Any tip is appreciated. Thank you Taoist 2-3 times the price of Buddhist. These days many Chinese opt for simple Buddhist. And at funeral parlor. No need over night jaga. Less stressful for all. Funeral shop networking is the bestest in the world. Within 1 - 2 hour, da mai! This post has been edited by DarkNite: Dec 29 2023, 12:19 PM

Sorry to hear this news brother.
BTW, how about the other stuff that you and family need to settle -- your father's property, houses, cars, FD, cash, EFP etc. Does he have a will, or set beneficiary for the EPF ?

if got budget then go for nirvana
or "sub" to main contractor
because you wont be having enough time to sort out everything yourself
u just need to supervise on top to ensure no over quoting
taoist style they will keep replacing siew yok and chicken ..more expensive
buddhist style just sayur and fruit ..technically will be cheaper

Funeral prayers can ask the coffin shop or if u know ppl urself, u can contact taoist or buddhist temples for service.
Depends on preference, Taoist is more detailed, Buddhist is simpler

Condolences to you and your family
Usually agents will approach you quickly in hospital, but do take time to calm down first and consider later
