last time i remember i buried my father pay ard 1K just for that hole exclude feng shui ( those granite tablet and concrete ard the grave, i think it is 12K forgotten liao). now 12 yrs already, u say how much??? i think guess also double.

then the funeral for 7 days cost some 20K over, collect donation also cannot cover, I pay for the excess..

no money better go cremated, cheap cheap. I cremate my mother ,, total ard 2k plus, include the niche and the marble tablet with her picture on it at mandai columbarium...


forget to add on, the hole is just a lease for 11 yrs,not free hold.., likely they extend another 11 or 10 yrs again,, then after this u got to dig out and reburied elsewhere, the hole will be taken over by another dead..i think most likely we cremate the remain,of my father,, his grandson will do it lah,, i will likely be gonecase,,

aya,, cremation is the best, cheap and good, and also dont need to give trouble to yr loved one every year got to go ching ming.,

hope u dont mind i mention death, for this is a sure thing, and life is very uncertain.. the only thing is certain is our death.

Why those who follow the Torah ( Judaism, Islam and  . . .) must bury

while christains who has the new books seem ok with cremation?

When you die, you are gone, no point having tablet or grave.

Yes, death is the only certainty in life.... and change the only constant.

Dont think too much lah, let your children handle it when you are gone.

Always give yourself a plan B.
If you die, your life in this planet has ended, but you may start a new life elsewhere.

For me, I practise  I Ching, I know there is a next life waiting for me. So I need to upgrade my moral code of conduct. This is only thing that will follow me after I die. This will also help me  to get out from reincarnation ASAP.
