1. The cost of Chinese funerals could increase soon, due to rising material costs.
According to The Malaysian Insight, the prices of coffins, joss sticks and tombstones are expected to rise as much as 25%, with coffins already costing three times more due to a wood shortage.
2. Besides the rise in raw material prices, the increase in the minimum wage and the depreciation of the ringgit have led to manufacturers revising their prices.
3. According to Nirvana Memorial Park Central Region COO Lee Jye Chyi, tombstones have also become more expensive due to the lockdowns in China.
She added that costs in the funeral service industry have gone up across the board, including rituals and paper binding.
4. Meanwhile, Pusat Keranda Fook Loke Sau owner Thung Siew Ching said customers are choosing simpler funeral ceremonies due to the increased prices.
“They buy a coffin for cremation and then scatter the ashes into the sea,” she told The Malaysian Insight. |
