LAYANAN PEMAKAMAN MEWAH MUSLIM: KOMODIFIKASI DAN REINTERPRETASI PEMAKAMAN
Abstract
This article examines the phenomenon of luxury Muslim funerals in Indonesia that reflects the negotiation between traditional Islamic values and modernity among middle-class Muslims. Using a qualitative approach, this study explores how the commodification of religious values affects funeral practices and the meaning of death. The study found that luxury funeral services such as Al-Azhar Memorial Garden not only offer exclusive facilities, but also integrate religious values and social status symbols through modern narratives that are in accordance with Islamic law. Luxury funerals become symbolic spaces that represent piety, class identity, and modern lifestyle aspirations. Moreover, the reinterpretation of funerals and death by middle-class Muslims indicates a self-transformation that reinforces religious practices in daily life. Thus, this phenomenon reflects the complex social dynamics between religiosity, materialism and modernity in urban Muslim society.
Keywords: Luxury Funerals; Middle-Class Muslims; Commodification
Abstrak
Artikel ini membahas fenomena pemakaman mewah Muslim di Indonesia yang mencerminkan negosiasi antara nilai-nilai tradisional Islam dan modernitas di kalangan Muslim kelas menengah. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana komodifikasi nilai-nilai religius memengaruhi praktik pemakaman dan pemaknaan terhadap kematian. Studi ini menemukan bahwa layanan pemakaman mewah seperti Al-Azhar Memorial Garden tidak hanya menawarkan fasilitas eksklusif, tetapi juga mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai religius dan simbol status sosial melalui narasi modern yang sesuai dengan syariat Islam. Pemakaman mewah menjadi ruang simbolik yang merepresentasikan kesalehan, identitas kelas, dan aspirasi gaya hidup modern. Selain itu, reinterpretasi pemakaman dan kematian oleh Muslim kelas menengah menunjukkan adanya transformasi diri yang memperkuat praktik religius dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Dengan demikian, fenomena ini mencerminkan dinamika sosial yang kompleks antara religiusitas, reatorism, dan modernitas dalam masyarakat Muslim urban.
