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?

Understanding Cremation

By Georgine Wearing


The Latest Cremation Issues

It is totally different now for many people were open to the concept about the cremation process. There are a significant number of people who go for it. The cremation trend is really increasing for in the last 40 years, it can be observed that only 6% of the population gets cremated. As of now, trend shows that over 40% of the population already welcomed the concept of cremation and even have decided to have their bodies cremated once they die.The following below will explain why there is a sudden increase in the number of cremations done every year.

Increased Acceptability for Cremation

Many people before do not want to have their bodies cremated and many people would not want that to happen to their loved ones. As you can observe, there are already several crematories open and the number of cremations has been increased. Long before, people do not really believe that cremation can offer the dead an honorable way of burial and for them this is not also "respectable". This is the main reason for its gradual increase. Cremation is not really a new concept since there have been many cultures that practice this method in order to honor the dead. It was only during the time of embalming that people began to choose caskets. The increase for cremation can really be attributed to the people who have welcomed and accepted it.

Environmental Benefits Offered by Cremation

Research shows that the Earth today is really damaged due to the activities of man. Because of this, many people wanted to never leave something into the earth when they die. The cremation practice has gone higher today probably because of the reason that it is environment friendly too. And many of us too are practicing on how we are going to save the earth. The cremation process is really a good way of saving the earth too and this could be the last help that dead people can do to the earth.

A grave site can never be useful at all. We can never plant something that we can eat there. Another bad thing about a body being buried is that it may give off the earth some chemicals that could be very hazardous not just for our health but for the other forms of life. Through cremation, every space of the earth can really be used in a productive way and the earth can also be chemical free from the dead bodies.

A Way to Save Money for Funeral and Burial

Cremation offers people financial flexibility once it is chosen. It can really be expensive if you go for traditional funeral and burial. People realized that they could totally lessen their expenses when they choose cremation. When you deal about cremation financially, you can really conclude that lesser expenses would be incurred especially if the deceased has a pre-planned funeral.

Not everybody in this world is born to have all the gold in the world. And because of this, we really strive hard to get a good deal too almost all of the things in this world even in the aspect of burial and funeral. As a matter of fact, cremation only costs about less than $600.

In cremation, we are helping the environment, we are saving money and it is practical. There is a wide acceptability for the practice now. We can already expect that as years will pass, more and more people will be happy about the idea of cremation.
