About Jinjang Funeral Parlour
Located in the heart of Jinjang South, the Jinjang Funeral Parlour (also known as Jinjang Memorial Centre or 增江积善堂) has been a cornerstone of the Kepong community for decades. Jinjang Funeral Parlour is one of the trusted locations served by Kepong Funeral Service, providing dignified, respectful, and culturally appropriate funeral arrangements for families in Jinjang, Kepong, and surrounding Kuala Lumpur areas.
The Jinjang Funeral Parlour is managed by the Chinese Cemetery Association of Kepong, Jinjang and Batu Village. It is one of the most preferred venues in Kuala Lumpur due to its central location and traditional atmosphere.

The Jinjang Funeral Parlour is one of the most established memorial centers in Kuala Lumpur, offering practical facilities designed for traditional and modern wakes.
- Memorial Halls (Various Sizes): The parlour houses several halls that can be partitioned or combined to suit the size of the gathering, from small family wakes to large-scale public ceremonies.
- Air-Conditioned & Fan Options: Halls are equipped with cooling systems to ensure the comfort of family members and guests during long hours of the wake.
- Basic Altar Infrastructure: Each hall comes with a designated space for religious altars (Buddhist, Taoist, or Christian) and commemorative photos.
- Convenient Guest Seating: Sufficient space for chairs and round tables for guests to rest and pay their respects.
- Public Amenities: On-site restrooms, washing areas, and basic lighting are maintained for 24-hour use during the wake period.
- Parking & Accessibility: Ample parking space surrounding the building, with easy drop-off points for the elderly and disabled.

Funeral Halls at Jinjang Funeral Parlour
The Jinjang Funeral Parlour is divided into different sections to accommodate different family sizes and budget requirements. Each hall is designed to provide a respectful environment for prayer and mourning.
The Main Wake Halls (High Capacity)
Jinjang Funeral Parlour Main Hall is suitable for medium to large funeral gatherings. It is commonly used for Buddhist and Taoist funeral services, allowing ample space for prayer rituals, chanting sessions, and guest seating.
- Capacity: 100 – 150+ guests.
- Suitability: Ideal for prominent figures or large families with many relatives and business associates expected.
- Features: These halls offer the most floor space for elaborate Taoist ritual setups (including large paper houses) or grand Buddhist altars. They have wider entrances to accommodate large floral tributes and allow for better ventilation and guest movement.
The Standard Halls (Medium Capacity)
- Capacity: 50 – 80 guests.
- Suitability: The most popular choice for typical 3-day or 5-day Buddhist and Christian services.
- Features: These halls offer a balance between space and intimacy. They are well-equipped with standard lighting and ceiling fans. Kepong Funeral Service can customize these halls with professional drapery and flower arrangements to create a premium feel even in a standard space.
Intimate/Small Halls (Lower Capacity)
- Capacity: 20 – 40 guests.
- Suitability: Perfect for small, private family wakes or “direct cremation” services where only immediate family members are present.
- Features: A more affordable option that still provides a private, dignified space. These are often used for 1-night wakes or simple prayer sessions before moving to the crematorium.
The Outdoor/Common Rest Area
- Between the halls, there are shared corridors and open-air spaces. This is where we usually set up the catering and refreshment stations.
- The layout allows for a “buffet-style” setup where guests can eat and converse without disturbing the ongoing prayers inside the hall.
New Block vs. Old Block
- The New Block: Generally features more modern tiling, better lighting fixtures, and improved air-conditioning units.
- The Old Block: Retains a more traditional atmosphere, which many families prefer for specific Taoist rituals. It is well-maintained and provides a sense of history and community connection.
Columbarium & Ash Placement Area
The Jinjang Funeral Parlour building itself functions primarily as a Memorial Center. This is the dedicated venue where the wakes, night prayers, and funeral ceremonies take place.
While the prayers happen at the Parlour, the Columbarium and Ash Placement areas are located within the Kepong Chinese Cemetery (甲洞华人义山) grounds nearby.
Both the Funeral Parlour and the Columbarium are managed by the Chinese Cemetery Association of Kepong, Jinjang & Batu Village. This close connection makes the transition from the funeral service to the final resting place very convenient for local families.
