Sarwendah Reveals the Reason for Her Father's Cremation on July 23, There is a Special Calculation According to Feng Shui

A series of ceremonies to send off her father has been carefully prepared by the family. According to the plan, the casket closing ceremony will be held on Monday, July 21, 2025, which will then be followed by the cremation ceremony a few days later, on Wednesday (July 23, 2025).

Many have asked why there is a time gap before the cremation ceremony is held. Sarwendah explained that the selection of the date is not without reason, but has gone through careful consideration."According to feng shui calculations, my dad is quite Chinese, so we calculated the feng shui. So the date of the 23rd has been chosen," said Sarwendah at the funeral home on Saturday (19/7/2025).

Not only about the date, but the process after the cremation has also been planned in detail. Later, the ashes of Hendrik Lo will not be kept, but will be scattered in the open sea from a ship. Apparently, this location was chosen because it holds special memories for the family, especially for the grandmother or mother of the late Hendrik Lo.

"At that time, Grandma usually celebrated her birthday on the boat, so later during the cremation, it would be together, that was the wish, through Yeye. Because Yeye liked to gather with friends," said Sarwendah.

There was a touching request that showed how deep the love was between Sarwendah's parents. Her mother, Rospita Tjoa, requested that her ashes be united with those of her beloved husband. This mother of three shared that this request has already been fulfilled."I have bought a double urn because Grandma requested to have her ashes together," she said.

In the midst of the mourning atmosphere, there was a touching story about the last outfit worn by the deceased. The suit that wrapped Hendrik Lo's body was not just any suit, but one he had personally prepared for a moment he had been looking forward to. It turns out, the late man had ordered the suit to celebrate his birthday."He really wanted to celebrate his birthday. As you can see, Yeye really loves to gather with his friends," explained Sarwendah.

The special moment was supposed to fall on August 18, when he would turn 65 years old. Unfortunately, fate had other plans, and the long-awaited celebration will never come to fruition. "So indeed on the later date in month 8, on the 18th, is his birthday," he concluded.
