Bro he's already feeling upset that the family is burning through their savings for the father and you are suggesting to ice the cake is to go to nirvana and spend 20k?

Nirvana and the equivalent private service providers won't be so economical. I am also checking out packages for my parents. You need to consider their products (burial plot, tomb construction, ancestral tablet costs or the equivalent for cremation like columbarium) and funeral services (Buddhist, Taoist or Christian). The prices are mind numbing to say the least. Ancestral tablet can cost rm10-15k. Tomb construction around rm50k for an average set up/design for a double plot, this excludes burial plot cost. Buddhist ceremonies from rm30-50k for a 3D/2N Buddhist/Taoist package.

There's another option, one I'm opting for myself.

Direct cremation. Price range 5k
Buying a plot at a Columbarium 3k.
Free if you toss in the ocean.

Don't want to stress my son financially.

My late grandpa one eye watering 70k because he was gifted a plot of land  in nirvana by his brother and we had to construct the burial site.

Bro, you are very considerate to your family. There are some superstitious old folks who insist on burial.

Then ask those superstitious old folks to budget and prepare the money accordingly.

Else the living is more important than the dead if financially tight.

What's worse is unhelpful or selfish sibling(s).
