Taoist Hokkien Funeral


I had the opportunity to meet with the Yew brothers, who are all practicing professionals at a private hospital in the Klang Valley.  Their father was in critical condition and they took the doctor's advice to initiate preparation for the inevitable.

After a round of presentation to the family, they bought the idea of our 1+1 Loyalty program, which helped them with substantial savings.  They bought a Double Urn Compartment at Nirvana Shah Alam with a cash discount of RM2,000.00 and along with the purchase, they were given another 40% discount to the funeral service package which saw another huge savings of RM9,520.00.  All in all, they saved a total RM11,520.00 from the "Pre-planning" purchase.

A week later, the eldest brother, Mr Yew T.S. called me one early morning to inform of his father's passing.  

Our service crew responded with immediate action and claimed the remains from the hospital and brought to Nirvana Memorial Center for the en-coffin preparation, i.e. cleaning and embalming of the remains, dressing and make-up proper.  

A Hokkien ritual was conducted by our Taoist Sifu and the late Mr Yew was cremated at Nirvana Shah Alam and his ashes was placed at Ming Palace II, a compartment closed to the Goddess of Mercy which provide much peace of mind and solace to the family.
