Various problems associated with cemeteries in Jakarta are ubiquitous, especially regarding its demand and preparation. In this chapter, I want to address the issue of the preference of cemetery in Jakarta, especially related to choice of corpse treatment and management from cultural point of view. The method I use is qualitative descriptive analysis. Operationally, I distribute questionnaires between June and September 2014 to understand public opinion about funeral by two steps: first the online survey and then the household survey. So, I managed to get 247 respondents, consisting of 111 online respondents and 136 household respondents. The result shows that religion, ethnicity, and the length of stay have a difference influence on the choice of the funeral.
