How much to do a funeral these days ??

[Mr Duck]

Now funeral no more people engage cooking. Buy food eat case closed. Only last night will order buffet only most. 出殡 come back seldom got cooking food anymore.

Simple one with some chants I think

Nowadays, simple one, no tong Yong cheng type, very simple...

 

[Mr Duck]

No atas, very min type, easily $17k with taoists chanting n buffet

Taoist is expensive. You go Buddhist one simple and cheaper. If you go Christian one more cheaper no need fruits, just purely flowers

Yes, it depends on your religion too to determine the cost.

Those people no money how to hold funeral?

 

[Visor9999]

Some so called “Direct Funeral option, just cremation“ - uncomplicated and the most economic funeral… Typically $1k plus only.

Still too expensive for those without money, Govt should offer subsidies for this

 

[Lchlch]

$1k plus i think… you can google.

Cremation already cost $400 plus

Funeral company or temple will sponsor. Previously had a chat with funeral director, he said the gov had set certain quota for them to sponsor the poor.
