Buddhist Sea Funeral

Kit called close to 7am one morning in a sobbing tone informing me of her father's passing.

It was a typical morning rush hour at the time and I knew it will take me more than an hour to reach her place at Damansara, Petaling Jaya.

I immediately called one of our Service Consultants who was nearer to Damansara to rush over hoping that he will arrive before me.

True enough, by the time I arrived at the front gate, Nirvana's transport was already parked inside the car porch ready to transfer the remains to our center for the en-coffin preparation.

By then, our efficient Service Consultant, Jimmy Gun had in fact, lodged the requisite police report and was on his way sending the Sergeant on duty back to the Balai.

Kit's mum and the rest of the family members were impressed by the speedy response and well coordinated service provided by Nirvana. It was within an hour that we had gotten the police report completed, the Burial Certificate issued and we had also assisted the family members to identify a good photograph of the late Mr Ng to be enlarged for the prayer service beginning the same night at Nirvana Memorial Center, Sungei Besi.

We carried out the funeral service in accordance with the late Mr Ng's last wish, that is his remains  to be cremated and ashes scattered to the sea. The whole funeral service process was completed exceptionally smooth and Kit was glad that she had kept my cell phone number with her all this while after reading thru my service in this blog some time ago. She said that it was in anticipation of untoward incident of this nature as her late dad was a heart patient.

While I am grateful for her trust and support in me, I also wish to give tribute to our unrelenting service team who are ever diligent in discharging their duties, come rain or shine.
