I was surprised that the deceased was to be cremated. I didn’t know that cremation was practised by Christians. I inquired with fellow attendees, and they said its acceptable. It seems there’s a severe shortage of burial plots.
I met Mr Ben twice, once at their home. He was a very nice and jovial person. Full of jokes and ably entertained us as a good host. We pray that his soul rests in peace and may God grant his family strength to move on.
