Understanding the Christian Funeral Practices in Malaysia
While the practices and order may differ slightly between denominations, Christian funerals generally focus on hope, comfort, and the resurrection. We ensure your service adheres to these core commonalities:
The Wake/Visitation: The casket is often open for family and friends to pay their final respects. This is a time for shared fellowship, prayer, and receiving condolences.
The Funeral Service (Commendation): This service, typically held at the Church or funeral hall, is centered on the Word of God. It features scripture readings, the sharing of hymns, an eulogy, and a sermon emphasizing God’s grace and the hope of everlasting life. The service concludes with the Commendation, where the deceased is entrusted to God’s loving care.
The Committal: A brief, solemn service held at the graveside or crematorium. The body is committed back to the earth (or cremated) with the promise of resurrection.

What to Consider When Planning a Christian Funeral?
When the time comes to contact a funeral director for a Christian service, having key decisions prepared can greatly streamline the process during a difficult moment.
Do you prefer a Church Hall, a dedicated Funeral Parlor, or conducting the wake from your private home/residence?
How long do you require the vigil to be? (Typically 2-day/1-night or 3-day/2-nights for Christian services, depending on family presence).
Do you prefer Cremation or Burial? This affects cemetery/columbarium bookings.
Which specific Church and Pastor/Priest will you engage? We will coordinate with them to set the service schedule.
Do you have a specific outfit ready, or would you like us to provide the required Christian Burial Suit/Dress?
Do you have a high-resolution photo of the deceased for enlargement?
Are there any specific hymns, Bible verses, or sermon requirements for the service?
Do you have the Death Certificate (Medical Certificate of the Cause of Death, or Form JPN.LM02) and the deceased’s NRIC (Identity Card) ready? These are mandatory for registration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1: What is the main difference between your 2-day and 3-day Christian Funeral Packages? The primary difference is the wake duration and cost. The 2-day, 1-night package is suitable for immediate family and a swift service (From RM 10,800). The 3-day, 2-night package (From RM 12,800) allows for extended visitation, tributes, and more nights of dedicated worship and prayer, providing greater time for community support.
2: Do your packages cover the Church/Pastor fees in Malaysia? No. Our packages cover all necessary funeral logistics, casket, hall setup, and transportation. Fees for the Church, Pastor/Priest, or any required musicians (e.g., choir/organist) are usually settled directly by the family to the respective parties. We will, however, handle all coordination and scheduling with them.
3: Can we choose cremation instead of burial? Yes, absolutely. We cater to both burial and cremation for Christian funerals. Once you decide, we will handle the necessary arrangements and logistics, including booking the time slot at a local crematorium (e.g., in Kepong, Selayang, or KL) or coordinating the graveside committal.
4: Are there any hidden charges I should worry about? We pride ourselves on our 100% Price Transparency policy. The starting price we quote covers the comprehensive list of inclusions. Any additional service (e.g., upgrading the casket, extended floral arrangements, or purchasing extra food/drinks for guests) will be itemized and approved by you before proceeding. You will never receive a surprise bill.
5: I belong to a specific denomination (e.g., Catholic/Lutheran). Can you accommodate this? Yes. Our team has extensive experience working with various denominations across Malaysia. We ensure the funeral rites, scripture choices, altar setup, and coordination with your chosen clergy strictly adhere to the specific traditions of your church.
