Cosmopolitan Memorial Chapels - Providing a Healing Experience for those who have lost a loved one

MANILA, Philippines - The experience of losing a loved one is hard enough as it is, that is why companies in the death care industry make it as easy as possible for families to make death care arrangements. Cosmopolitan Memorial Chapels is the leading company in the funeral industry. For over 60 years, it already has 22 branches in the Visayas and Mindanao region and will soon expand to Luzon. With cutting edge facilities and technology, Cosmpolitan Memorial chapels have been hailed as experts in the death care industry. Cosmopolitan Memorial chapels also boast of state of the art design and comfort features. “Cosmopolitan’s edge is our approach to service - it is customer-centric. We have built our facilities, developed our service packages and sourced our products and equipments with the customer/client in mind - the deceased, the bereaved, their loved ones and guests,” explains Renato Dychangco Jr., CEO and President of Cosmopolitan.

Under its arm, CFHI (Cosmopolitan Funeral Homes Inc) has a training school for embalmers and continuing education courses or electives. This helps individuals bridge the gap and also offer them career growth and direction. Another arm of the CFHI group is Embalming Solutions, a chemical company which distributes the necessary and needed preservation chemicals to various branches. Cosmopolitan is also the country’s distributors of Batesville caskets, Dodge Company and other worldwide brands.

CFHI is one the few companies that carries the most varied range of products, displaying up to 60 casket units- categorized under good, better and best in the showroom. Manufacturing own caskets allows CFHI to have a wider array of choices – such as wood line, with imported hard wares, and metal line with local or imported hardware. For clients who really want high quality, CFHI imports caskets from China and Indonesia and carries wooden and metal lines as well. For the clients that only want the best, CFHI carry a majority of the Batesville line of caskets. From simple, mahogany caskets to the solid bronze caskets. Aside from these, CFHI carries 40-fleet of funeral cars- from Lincolns to Cadillac hearses.

 CFHI respects clients’ culture and religion, therefore offering packages that are for the clients’ flexibility. In the market there are two types of service: a burial or cremation. In the country, only CFHI offers the third form of burial which is creating cremains to Diamonds. This service is for those who want to relive memories of their love ones to the present by carrying them as necklace or as a ring. 

 For families who do not want to have their loved ones embalmed can also choose to have them viewed through refrigerated glass. This service allows families to view their loved ones during a wake as they remember him or her. No chemicals are involved, only preservation through refrigeration.

The mission of CFHI is to provide healing experiences to those who have lost a loved one. From the time a bereaved family enters any branch, funeral counselors are readily available to them. Funeral directors are also trained to help families with their decisions, giving clear information so that we can honor them in their last rights.
