Marketspotted: services for the dead

While we’re here in Indonesia we took the time to visit Akong’s grave (may he rest in peace). Via some random convo with relatives, I learned that there is this whole business for the dead. One company seems to now lead the market with integrated lines. From washing the bodies, applying makeups, to providing an array of coffins and grave sites to select from - of course all depending on your budget. For makeup, you can choose Revlon package for 1.5 million rupiahs or Estée Lauder for 2.5 million. I guess there are many more options. You can even opt for a spa for the dead, I’m not joking.
