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?

Hiring Funeral Planners - A Decision Families Won't Regret

By Cindy Hess


Death is inevitable. Although it is definite, no one really easily accepts the loss of a loved one. Death, as often said, typically brings sorrow and pain to families and friends. This is the reason why planning and arranging a funeral isn't an easy task for any grieving family. Yet, they need to do this to give their departed loved one a proper burial.

Arranging a funeral is not as easy as reciting the alphabet; maybe, even not as simple as organising a birthday party. For a grieving relative designated to attend to this task, additional mental and emotional stress awaits him/her. However, nowadays, this shouldn't be the case, especially in Singapore as grieving relatives can enlist the help of a Funeral director Singapore memorial services provider has.

A funeral director or planner basically helps families in preparing for the interment and other funeral-related concerns. On behalf of the family, he/she makes preparations for the embalming, funeral and burial or cremation rites of the departed. This professional, along with his/her staff, also take care of seemingly small details like ushering visitors and making the funeral seat plan.

In addition, the funeral director also guarantees the completion of pertinent documents like obituary notices, death certificates and burial permits. Sometimes, this individual's service extends even after the interment as he/she assists in choosing and sending thank you cards to those who showed their support to the family. Even if it's not officially listed as a part of his/her duty, the memorial planner/director also counsels and comforts the bereaved family and friends.

Clearly, funeral directors provide people with invaluable assistance during a tough time in their life. It is, certainly, a wise idea for grieving families to enlist their services. However, they should not just settle for any funeral director. To make sure that they'd get first-rate service, they should choose a trustworthy funeral parlour in Singapore offering funeral planning services.

Reliable funeral services providers are known to hire well-trained and experienced funeral directors who are knowledgeable about the different death-related religious and cultural traditions. Therefore, bereaved families are guaranteed that their and their demised loved one's funeral wishes are followed and executed properly with respect to their religious or cultural traditions.
