that is about the price other cremation service provider charged

i am talking about those non for profit type

U need to consider the cremation facilities cost and services to pack your ashes.


U can cremate with 100 only? Possible lower if u do it backyard of your house like open burning trashes.

Is that a threat due to your illusional beliefs or what?

Other people owe you a living and subsidy for your way of living convenience?

Although this crematory services more like the public sector issue, like food, dying as a Chinese really portrays our price raising culture.

Other option than Xiao En would be scattering ashes after cremation at Klang River at around half the price.

it's a community facility
RM100 is too cheap and RM1000-1300 is too steep
maybe meet in between.. this facily is not meant to be profit making or compete against private sector. 200-300 below what private sector charge seems reasonable.

seems like every gov dept is ramping up on fees collection.

Already pledge organ for donation after death, and signed remaining (brain & nerve) goes to some research for UMMC

Chinese Buddhist and Taoist funerals cost the most, and drag on for few days, costing double digit thousands excluding the cost of the plots or columbarium niches.

it's not so much about the money
it's every bit about the land

when land is getting scarcer that even living person is hard to live...they want a free piece of land for burial from gov
this is happening all around the world, here will be soon

which is why others moved on to cremation, they understand what the problem is and they came out with a solution
which is to step outside of tradition


u need to read the whole news bro
it's DBKL...subsidized
it's already mention there, at RM1.3k...it's more expensive than private crematoriums

so if you're more expensive than private...thn where did they get the numbers from?

it's the same like saying KKM is more expensive than Gleneagles

Not interested on this option. I sudah booked Xiao En Tower of Light as my eternal resting place. Whole family is there so easier for my son to pray in the future.

Taoist funerals from Nirvana, A better casket also need top up around 25-30K

If RM1300 feels expensive, i have a cheaper suggestion. Use own car, send to any nearby beaches / resorts, dump into the sea.

betul2 yodo

Tak kan RM100 40 years ago

Now also RM100 kan?

It just a good practise, why so triggered?

The Khairat Kematian is like insurance. You contribute to a fund where once you dead the community will use the money to settle your burial at low cost and avoid your family members to foot the problem. Most of the work in the burial ground is voluntary which lower down the cost. Most important thing it is not monetised.

Maybe the concept helping others and the community is alien to you

Next suitable and sensible method throw ashes into the sea.

But please find a more nicer place do it. Not off the shores of port Klang.

Can't they do it at a more beautiful serene and quiet beach.

There is plenty of lands in the wakaf list. Some muslims prefer to wakaf their land once they dead instead of their family members fighting for it lol

For cremation maybe can adopt the same khairat concept also where ppl can contribute at least rm500 for lifetime each and the pool collected money will be use to lower down the cost of cremation further.

Some khairat also only take rm30-40 per month. I consider it like an insurance.

Chinese has become 1) materialistic 2) individualistic

Materialistic in the sense that semua nak grand nak bagus nak jaga muka: alphard hearse, big flower boards with electronics, big funeral with a lot of people, then kasi makan sedap2 buffet style, bakar mercedes, bakar maid, bakar driver, bakar banglo, bakar duit berkepuk2, emas, perak, keranda cantik shiny mahogany etc

Tombstone kena besar, kena check fengshui, check zodiac, check bazi etc. sembahyang 3 hari 3 malam, pastu sembahyang seratus hari, setahun, etc.

Individualistic in the sense that ko pandai2 la kumpul duit ko, ko mati aku kasi sampul putih rm30 sumbangan ikhlas. Ko pi la cari nirvana cari apa2 kedai pastu ko bayar jer.

It is a cultural thing, nak grand & nak muka. Those gangster ah long yg baru mati kat JB aritu buat grand funeral pun org boleh envy & rasa “wah so nice the funeral” tapi masa hidup jadi penyangak. Money is everything.

PD

Kenot RIP
