Monday, 19 April 2021 22:20 WIB - TRIBUNNEWS.COM, JAKARTA - Death is something very closely connected to life in society in general.
Yet many of us still do not realize the impact that every death brings, especially on those who are left behind.
Riman Budiman, founder of Kamboja, explained that death remains a taboo subject to discuss in Indonesian society, especially within the family.
"This perception leads to low awareness or anticipation in preparing everything needed for the day of mourning.
So when "that day arrives," it is the people they love who are left to bear all the arrangements and funeral costs," he said in a written press statement, Monday (19/4/2021).
Kamboja is a provider of funeral planning, organizing and financing services, offering complete funeral arrangement and management, including its costs.
In big cities especially, the process and arrangement of a funeral can cost quite a lot, ranging from millions to hundreds of millions of rupiah.
This can add considerably to the burden of those who are already overwhelmed by grief and loss.
“Every death leaves behind not only sorrow and grief, but also physical and material burdens for those who are left behind.
Surely we cannot bear to see the people we love, and who should be protected, become burdened after we are gone,” he concluded on the sidelines of the launch of the Kamboja platform.

Kamboja is supported by a leading life insurance partner in Indonesia, Astra Life, in providing life protection for members.
It is also supported by professional partners in the funeral sector, such as the Jakarta Cemetery and Parks Agency, the Bandung City Cemetery Agency, San Diego Hills Memorial Park, Mitra Medical Service, Akasha Ambulance, and hundreds of catering and florist partners spread across Indonesia.
With costs ranging from IDR 35,000 to IDR 80,000 per month, Kamboja is committed to helping its members achieve priceless peace of mind by planning everything to ease the burden on their loved ones when “that day arrives.”
Kamboja members can choose one of several available packages, offering benefits from IDR 25 million to IDR 100 million, which are used for all the needs of the funeral process.
“It may feel a little frightening to imagine our own death someday.
But we should start to be more open-minded, self-reliant and prepared.
This is to protect everyone we love from burdens they cannot imagine when we go ahead of them.”
“When that day comes, it is our own responsibility to prepare everything, not theirs, so that only sweet memories remain in their hearts when they think of us.” he added.
Kamboja serves Muslim funerals, non-Muslim funerals, and cremation, and is ready to serve members throughout Indonesia, especially in Jabodetabek, Bandung and surrounding areas.
