...elderly relative interested to buy burial plot. I know, I know, you guys sure tell me to report to HR as this colleague is not focus on work. That is another topic to discuss. But I am interessted to know...

This colleague at work, seem to be making a lot of money part time, so far as i know it - already 5 confirmed customers, as people look for the colleague for commission.

Just curious, Nirvana offer how many % commission to their agents?

Do agents work alone or under a group where the commission get divided up?

Let say if you take a package burial + wake services = 70k.

How much commission you think the agent will get out of it.

a) 2%, 3%, 5% out of 70k ?

b) I heard rumor some could be earn up to 10k per burial plot, is it really possible? macam ni Nirvana bungkus already.

Burial plot + wake services sale ah, I am not talking about cremation + wake + collaborium.

7% of 70k = 7k.

Damn no wonder I hear some of my colleagues say the agent so kiam sap, 7k can't even take out any discount from their commission.

I heard the collaborium size of post box, is already 30k offered by Nirvana.

nirvana will expel them?

7%-10% commission so good, they don't even want to discount to customer.

or is it an excuse they use?

that is nirvana's rebate

but I am talking about agent willing to share out their own commission

if its true they earn 10k, damn, they very miser lah.

people spend 100k over on grave, these cheapskates can't even share back their commission.

But I find it very funny to see 2 people negotiate over a price of site 6 feet under.

I saw the whole coffin went into the furnace at cheras crematorium.

oops sorry.

I mean 10% is 7k.

I don't think it will sell like so hot cakes.

I heard a lot of old people haven't bought their "units" yet.

I agree is stupid.

For me, I arrange to have my ashes buried at sea.

I want my kids to enjoy maximization of my money once I am gone.

But I do admit, when I go for Cheng ming, a grave with good view, and space, help bring harmony in family gathering and they makan and camaderie around it.

But its only once a year.

heck some crazy fella once invited me to go jogging at a Nirvana cemetary because its nice, misty and cooling.

Pointless to buy so early.

coffins will wear and tear faster.

those old traditional chinese coffins takes up a lot of space.

at least the flat western types can be made a temporary coffee table first. hahahaha

In western countries, seem to be rampant.

HUSBAND STILL IN FREEZER
It comes after a widow was allegedly told by Legacy she would have to identify the body of her dead husband eight months after she believed he had been cremated.

Three generations of women in the family - his widow, daughter and granddaughter - have all been wearing jewellery made from his supposed "ashes".

Now they are "distraught" to learn the remains could be those of another person.

A friend of the family said: "The man died in July, last year, and after the cremation, they brought his ashes back.

“The daughter slept with them beside her bed and the family also took them to the pub for a memorial.

“They then paid quite a bit of money to have the ashes turned into crystal jewellery for his widow, daughter and granddaughter to wear to remember him.

“But now they have found out that he wasn’t cremated and he has been in the freezer all this time.

“The police have told them, that he could have only been frozen under the direction of the Coroner.

“The widow is distraught. The family thought they had his remains, and are now asking ‘if it’s not him, then who is it?’

“They are now grieving again, they have lost that closure that a funeral gives you.

“His widow has now been told by the police that she will have to go and identify the body of her dead husband - imagine that!”
