The information you have provided has opened a number of doors and I am pursuing those leads.<br /> I obtain a 2 month Visa regularly and my Mother has previously been here on such a Visa so this would not be a problem. However, I am about to investigate a retirement Visa for myself.<br /> I would still l.ike to hear from anybody who has been through this situation before. Thank you, again, Shorty - I am indebted to you </p> http://forums.baliblog.com/topic/christian-funerals-and-cremations#post-4661 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 14:41:44 +0000 shorty 4661@http://forums.baliblog.com/ <p>ps. obviously a 30 day voa is not applicable for your mother. you'll/she'll need to apply for the 60 day social visa in perth. </p> <p>ask them. </p> http://forums.baliblog.com/topic/christian-funerals-and-cremations#post-4655 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 02:32:16 +0000 shorty 4655@http://forums.baliblog.com/ <p>this is far too important to rely on blog info. why not go to the source?</p> <p>... ri immigrasi<br /> ... the sky pilot at whatever local flavour gereja your mother belongs<br /> ... the oz consul</p> <p>maybe these people could give some pertinent info <a href="http://www.immigrationindonesia.com/bali-prepaid-funeral-plan.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.immigrationindonesia.com/bali-prepaid-funeral-plan.html</a> </p> http://forums.baliblog.com/topic/christian-funerals-and-cremations#post-4652 Mon, 25 Jan 2010 15:51:04 +0000 brovic 4652@http://forums.baliblog.com/ <p>Hi, I've been living in Denpasar for nearly 2 years and my Wife is Indonesian. I am now thinking of bringing my Mother over from Perth for a 2 month holiday. Being a realist, and realising my Mother is nearly 99, I must address the fact of her possible passing whilst here, and I know nothing with regard to a Christian service or Cremation facilities and costings. I am her only family and I seek advice. Thanks...ROY </p> http://forums.baliblog.com/topic/cremation-ubud-last-week#post-1002 Mon, 28 Jul 2008 11:33:13 +0000 Barrie 1002@http://forums.baliblog.com/ <p>Hi Serendipity,</p> <p>Well said, and, thank you. </p> http://forums.baliblog.com/topic/cremation-ubud-last-week#post-999 Mon, 28 Jul 2008 10:40:34 +0000 serendipity 999@http://forums.baliblog.com/ <p>ripeha please understand that this is not a western culture, so everything that happens in bali, has a purpose and a reason. they hold their dead in such honour and the belief that they will attain a greater peace, if more is done for them in the after life. Huge groves of trees are not cut down, they use bamboo which is a ever growing resource. I feel we as westerners have much to learn from their humility and love of family, families that we (in general) disgard into nursing homes when it becomes all too difficult. </p> http://forums.baliblog.com/topic/cremation-ubud-last-week#post-958 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 13:12:39 +0000 ripeha 958@http://forums.baliblog.com/ <p>I have mixed feelings about such ceremonies. Cremation is one thing, but as you know there are dozens of other minor ceremonies held throughout the year in honour of one thing or another. It's not my religion or my business and certainly not my island, but I've seen smaller villages and households go badly in debt in order to put on a large enough show to satisfy everyone, corporeal or not. Not to mention huge groves of trees being cut down in order to build structures that are then used for one day and left to rot, or burnt to the ground. </p> http://forums.baliblog.com/topic/cremation-ubud-last-week#post-952 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 07:15:33 +0000 Barrie 952@http://forums.baliblog.com/ <p>Good one Hippiechick.
