dad and bro accompanied grandma to rawang memorial park today. grandma went there to reserve 2 burial spots for cremation (hers and granpa's). this sounds morbid yeah, but i guess this is already very common among the chinese.
the previous week she went to have a look at nilai memorial park.
the rawang one (actually nearer to bukit beruntung) is quite new. only five years old, thus not as famous. nilai's is reputed as the biggest memorial park in the world ah. but according to the salesperson in rmp, theirs will expand and the land they occupy is bigger than nmp's. hmmm....marketing.
i heard granma said that grandpa complained. haha...it was funny the reasons she gave. she said grandpa could be grumbling because rmp was not famous enough and it was not far enough. hahah.
anyway, their four children are going to share the payment and settle the bill this week.
this makes me wonder about mine too. land burial or cremation? definitely cremation, save space and trouble. buy a place now? who knows, later i am sure they are going to increase the price kan? can this fit into investment for the future category? one spot is about rm5000.
too early? who knows where i am relocating next, kan? ok...at least now i know how much i have to save aside. how true the chinese saying 'kun choi pun' (money for the coffin). you really need to save for it.
