Death is something no one can avoid. Even so, when it comes or happens to someone, it leaves family and loved ones feeling deep sorrow. It is this grief that sometimes leads grieving families to choose a funeral management service.
By using such a service, the family only needs to pay the funeral management fee. The service provider then helps handle matters related to the funeral, such as arranging the death certificate, transportation, the burial process, and food for the family and mourners.
A funeral management service certainly eases the burden on a grieving family, doesn't it? Even so, there are some things you should consider if you want to use this service.
Here are tips for choosing a funeral management service.
1. The Distance Between the Service Provider and Your Home
The first tip is to consider the distance between the funeral management service provider and your home. This helps you know how long you may have to wait for the provider to come to your home to handle the funeral.
Ideally, choose a funeral management service provider that is not too far from your home. That way, the provider can arrive quickly and take care of everything related to the funeral. Currently, Kamboja operates in the Greater Jakarta area (Jabodetabek), Bandung and its surroundings, which is very helpful for families in these areas who want the funeral process to take place promptly.
2. Having a Companion
When there is a loss in your family, you need a companion to handle matters related to the funeral. This includes death documentation, grave land arrangements, choosing a coffin or burial shroud for Muslims, the funeral process, and even traditional ceremonies. Kamboja provides a family companion, which we call a funeral manager, dedicated to each member. The benefit is that all of the family's needs are received and carried out in a more personal and appropriate way.
3. Availability of Funeral Equipment
Next, you should also choose a funeral management service that provides complete funeral equipment. This way, you and the rest of the family do not need to look for funeral supplies such as coffins, burial shrouds, and other items.
In addition, with complete funeral equipment available, the funeral process can begin right away. You and your family can also choose options with prices that match your financial situation.
Kamboja works with professional funeral service providers, including funeral homes, transportation providers, catering, florists, and printing services, so that the funeral arrangements run smoothly and are well organized. This way, the family no longer has to be burdened with the details of the funeral procession.
4. Having Staff to Assist With the Funeral Process
Besides a companion, choose a funeral management service that has staff who can assist with the funeral process. These staff members should be able to help with washing the body, shrouding or dressing it, arranging traditional ceremonies, and handling the burial or cremation process.
Kamboja works with many funeral homes or crematoriums in its service areas. This makes it easier for families to decide on the funeral arrangements for their loved ones.
5. Providing Catering
You should also choose a service provider that offers catering. This is because grieving families often forget to arrange food for themselves and for the mourners who come.
More than 40+ catering businesses have registered as Kamboja partners. Families can choose a variety of food options for mourners and family members, with budgets that can be adjusted.
6. Costs
Finally, you should also consider cost. There are several costs to think about. First, if you are burying the body outside your city, you need to consider the cost of transporting the body by air or by land.
Next, consider the cost of the funeral equipment the provider offers, as well as its catering services. You should also pay attention to the cost of body preparation, through to the cost of cremation or burial.
Why should you pay attention to the costs? Because each service provider offers funeral management services at different rates, and these are usually quite expensive because funeral management services are often not planned far in advance.
However, if you do not want to bear a large expense all at once, you can use a funeral protection service so that the costs are not too high, since the funeral arrangements have been planned well in advance with you paying a monthly bill.
As a Kamboja member, you do not need to worry about funeral costs. Everything will be arranged and paid for by Kamboja according to the member's package. So there is no burden left behind for the family.
Those are the six things you should consider when choosing a funeral management service. If you live in Jakarta, we also provide several ways to handle funeral arrangements in Jakarta. We hope these considerations give you clarity in choosing the right funeral management service.
