RM100 ti RM1300

bare in mind, this is only cremation
this is not yet those land burial that is practiced by all muslim yet....how expensive and scarcer can it became as years go by

Muslim practise wakaf (donation) for land burial
So the cemetery land you see is wakaf by some other muslim. Some also wakaf the hearse and the grave digger salary etc

We also pay ‘khairat’ kematian fund where the collection fund from the community pays for the burial process

All this due to muslim practise of not monetising death into an industry

Maybe other nons can adopt this practise also

Which means you're implying that Nons should adopt your faith style to enjoy the same cheaper burial costs?

That's an act coercion on others.

You are enjoying cheap at the expense of others subsidizing yours so you tell them if you want cheap as well follow my way?

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

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? laugh.gif

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

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.
