Funerals are deeply personal and culturally significant events, varying widely based on religious and traditional beliefs. In Malaysia, where diverse communities coexist, funeral practices reflect a blend of customs, ensuring a respectful send-off for the departed.
Regulations & Time Frame
Malaysia does not impose strict funeral procedure regulations for locals and expatriates. There is no set timeframe for conducting a funeral, allowing families to observe their traditions without legal constraints.

Depending on religious and personal preferences, funerals can be held at various locations:
- Public funeral parlours
- Municipal funeral parlours
- Churches (Permission required from the church’s administration)
- Funeral halls in Chinese temples
- Homes (Preferably landed properties, as some condominiums and apartments may not allow funerals)
- Certain community halls
- Cemeteries and cremation venues
For expatriates holding an MM2H visa (Malaysia My Second Home), designated cemeteries in Malaysia allow for burial arrangements.
