Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Beautiful Funeral Songs And Music To Enhance Your Memorial Service

By Tom Tree

The people are all there to mourn your loss. They remember what they have lost themselves. The thing that families want to do is try to make an experience to last by adding special things to the funeral that will honor the person whom they have lost. You can enhance your memorial service with beautiful funeral songs and music.

It has all been done before at a funeral. There have been some who have had slow band play music. Some have had music that is lively and upbeat at their wedding. They will tell you that they don't want you to mourn. This is how you can really enhance your funeral with song.

Some people have someone do a solo. At our cousins funeral they had a solo done by his brother who plays the saxophone. You can have an instrumental solo as well as a vocal. Heck, you can have both if you'd like. It's your final celebration. This is just another way to enhance your funeral service.

There are others who think that music song by the people who mourn together is appropriate. This is why they sometimes go about and choose a hymn that is to be sung. On a religious level, it's the idea that the person would be singing it there with you as well. This is how others use music at their memorial service to enhance it.

Last of all, you can then have music that is quite common to play. There are songs that when you go to a funeral, you almost expect to sing them. Those are used and when people think of them, they think of laying a person to rest. Normally, there are a few suggestions you can ask someone about and they can list them off the top of their head.

Music has been played at memorial services for a number of reasons. It adds a peaceful touch. Sometimes, it fills in where words can't describe what people are feeling. It gives people time to reflect. This is how it enhances a memorial service and it might be something you want to consider as you plan yours or someone else's memorial service.
