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?

Why You Should Get A Funeral Plan Today

By Dan Francis


Do you cringe at the thought of your own death? There is no escaping death that is why it is best if we start preparing for it, not just for ourselves but also for our loved ones. So if you are really concerned about the future welfare of your family, it is time that you consider getting a funeral plan today.

When the time comes, who do you think could best take care of your funeral expenses, not to mention the actual funeral arrangements? Even if you have loved ones who are currently financially capable of shouldering the costs, but that is speaking about the present. How about in the future? You could never tell if they would still have enough money to shoulder all the funeral expenses.

Another good thing about getting your own funeral plan is that you can make the choices for your own funeral arrangements. While this may sound weird, but it is a form of legacy that you might want to leave behind. For example, instead of a burial service, you may prefer cremation and the ashes being scattered to the sea. These can all be prepared to your specific instructions and choices.

Do you think your family will be emotionally prepared to deal with your passing and at the same time make the right funeral preparations? What if they could not think straight during that time and they end up with all the wrong choices? It would matter if all the mistakes that they would do are the selection of the flowers. However, what if they get tricked into selecting overpriced services or arrangements that are not really necessary? For these reasons, it would still be best if you make the preparations yourself.

Some people worry too much whether the funeral director would have the money to pay for their funeral plans should the time comes for it. There is nothing to be afraid of. Funeral directors are liable to the government in keeping their responsibilities to their funeral plan holders. They will suffer more should they neglect on providing the necessary funeral arrangements for their clients.

There are also a few people who think funeral plans are very expensive, but it really depends on what kind of plan they get. Of course there will always be expensive plans that include the most expensive arrangements and services. But there are also those which are more affordable and can provide at least the basic services.

You must also think about the funeral costs as these can go high in the years to come. But if you have a funeral plan already set in place, then you do not have to worry about it. Funeral costs will generally not affect most funeral plans. Your family will be able to save much money when the time finally comes.

Getting a funeral plan is something any responsible person should get, or for the time being, at least should seriously consider. It saves you and your family money, it prepares everything for them, and every preparation will be based on your preferences. What more can you ask?
