the question is, where u wan to held it? here in KV or back in hometown.

if hometown kecil, then might not have one stop centre like nirvana.
where u dont need to held funeral at your house, block jalan etc.
those centre got aircond, parking, toilet, room etc etc.
which is my preferred choice, no need bother neighbours.

downside is might be slightly expensive than doing at home.
as in nirvana home vs nirvana centre.
u get to save mayb a few K at the expense of comfort.

if u have budget, get those nirvana like services at their building.
of course nirvana is the premium one. got those cheaper one, saving a few K.

u can plan now, but he havent move on yet.
once he moved on, at the morgue sure will have people offering you services.

u can arrange with the service provider.

edit
nirvana they provide those monk also according to your belief.
so u no need find those.
as for christian, you need to find your own pastor n worship service.

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!

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

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

Is your dad the eldest to your grandpa? If yes, follow his wish (have a word with him while posibble) if no, consult your eldest living uncle.

You mentioned "shared" with your late grands/ uncles (i know what you mean), so you need to consult your eldest living uncle on the ritual.

TS, stay strong to see matters through.

By the way, if your father is close to any chinese civil society or ethnics society, you can ask them for advice too.

Example, Cantonese ppl, find back Cantonese society.

Okay, usually la.. the same day/night your kin pass away in hospital, hospital will need one from the family to complete a form with their info and contact number on it. They will also ask you to go to police station and make a report for the death to get a release paper that will enable you to collect your deceased one (the report for no need of post-mortem/autopsy if the death is natural and not crime related).

They bring the deceased to the morgue for temporary time till you get the release paper and police report. During that time you'll get a call from people who does funeral one (they must have gotten your number from the hospital, I guess they have connection with the hospital) asking if you need a service. From there on you can ask them anything about the procedure and they basically will handle EVERYTHING for you.

They are very efficient at the service and are quick to respond.

Stay strong bro. Remember to take care of yourself and lookout for your other families.
