Actress and presenter Dorce Gamalama is preparing herself to face death by having a casket made.
Dorce, who is well known as one of Indonesia's first transgender artists, introduced the idea of the casket during her recent 52nd birthday.
Dorce's family said they understood about her desire to prepare for death.
'We are sad to see her preparing her casket. We hope she will never leave us,' Dorce's third daughter, Siti Khadijah, said as quoted by Tribunnews.com.
'People are often afraid to face death. Mama [Dorce], however, prefers to think about what she can do when the time comes,' she added. 'Death is inevitable. Everybody will face it.'
Dorce has also prepared a plot of empty land to be her final resting place. The plot is located just to the right of her house.
