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?

Choosing A Casket At The Most Trying Times

By Ping Carlson


Losing someone dear to you is already hard. Dealing with your emotions during one of the lowest times in your life is particularly difficult . And sometimes, the difficulty does not end there. Certain family members and friends even have to make a difficult decision for the deceased. An example of that is the task of selecting a casket to put the remains in for viewing at the funeral parlour.

Even though it is advisable to treat the purchase of a casket just like any other important transaction considering the fact that one selects it based on cost, design and material, each one who has experienced doing so would agree that nobody can never be too prepared to finally do that at one point or another. The idea of even walking through a room filled with caskets is already uncomfortable for most. Nevertheless, the departed deserves a decent wake at the funeral parlour and a casket is part of the plan. Family and friends tasked to purchase the item are expected to make a good decision no matter how they're feeling.

They then request the help of a funeral director to check the caskets available for purchase. It is important for the concerned relatives and friends to know that they need to check the costs and features of the caskets first. Seeing the sample can come next after they have gotten a good grasp of the options they can consider.

Most people may not know it but a casket is actually one of the most expensive things to buy. That's true even at a time when only two kinds of caskets were available, the wood and the metal one. The costs even increased as other materials were introduced to the market. Nowadays, one can purchase a casket made out of fibreglass, fibreboard or plastic. If one decides to opt for a more special variety, there's also the personalised casket or green casket he or she can take a good look at.

Yet regardless of the price and material the casket is made of, its purpose remains the same. It offers a decent presentation of the remains of the deceased while the public pay their last respects.
