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?

What Are Needed for Cremation

By Deidre Caporali


What is the Best Option -- Traditional Funeral and Burial or Cremation?

It is true that the traditional funeral and burial could be expensive. Due to this case, people have opted for cremation in order to give their departed loved ones the best rest and honor.We never know when our loved ones may pass and we are even uncertain about the financial resources that they are leaving us. As of now, almost all the funeral and burial services have become more expensive.

It is really truly that a loss of a loved one could also mean loss or money since you really need to shed for the funeral and burial. When you are grieving, you also have to think for these. As for now, you never know how much funeral and burial would cost for your loved one. You have to be ready to shell out $10000 from your pocket for it. Cremation is one viable option that you can spend less.

Several reasons would explain that cremation is a reasonable option that you can have if you want to save. If in case, the family would want to have a viewing and funeral service after the cremation, there would be more savings since there will no more embalming costs and no more caskets.

Traditional funeral and viewing won't also happen when the cremation process is chosen. Most of the time, people who select cremation would go for a memorial service right after the cremation process.

One of the major costs that you have to spend for in a traditional funeral and burial is the casket. You will never face financial burden for caskets since this will not be of use when the body will be cremated. A simple box will already do and then placed to a cremation oven. Estimated costs for the purchase of the grave lot can go up to more than $15000. You never get to spend this is cremation. Another financial burden that you would still encounter is the cost of maintenance for the grave next to the burial.

The traditional funeral and burial can really be very expensive rather than cremation in the sense that all things like the funeral service from the home to the church and then the bringing of the body from the church to the final grave site is all absent in cremation. Expenses can be incurred during the process like transportation and etc.

The traditional funeral and burial service cannot be so affordable if you really want it. In cremation all you need is only $695-$1365. Cremation costs usually depend on the location as well.

Due to the savings that can be realized when opting for cremation, plenty of families selected it and it has even proved to be giving them a good memorial for their deceased loved ones.

There are so many kinds of memorials. You can opt for a casket or even a personalized decorative urn. But a decorative urn could be nicer than the casket that you will never see again. One more way in which you can make a celebration for the life of your loved one is to make some memorial bookmarks.

There is also uniquely designed bench that you can choose. Use this and set your own little garden with all the favorite things of your deceased loved ones. This is a sort of a personal memorial and this is very accessible.
