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?

Services From A Memorial Home

By Melvin Hernandez


People who are left behind after a loved one dies feel excruciating anguish. Even those who have prepared for their loved one's passing are still saddled with sorrow when the time comes. It's difficult for them to make decisions regarding the preparations for the funeral. Although they're grieving, they need to deal with the arrangements as soon as possible.

For people who have experienced losing a loved one, a peaceful memorial service is their way of honouring the dead for the final time. Having a memorial service also allows friends and family to mourn properly. It's best to appoint memorial services to take care of everything during overwhelming moments like this.

In Singapore, most funeral parlours offer more than just a location for funerals. They offer a full array of services that one needs to hold a peaceful service. They offer funeral services that cater to different cultural and religious practices. They can appoint a priest, pastor, or monks to preside over the service as required by the clients.

Other services that are commonly offered by a funeral home in Singapore include assistance with paperwork. They can help with the filing of death certificates, insurance, and other important documents. Memorial homes can also make arrangements with the burial site or crematorium. Some even offer caskets, niche placements, florist arrangements, making of audio and video short film, and transportation services for guests.

People can also arrange their own service with the funeral parlour prior to death. Most memorial homes have pre-arrangement plans they offer, where clients can pick out the kind of service they like, pick their own casket, purchase their burial plot beforehand, and discuss their funeral. Many people prefer this kind of arrangement because they know that they will be efficiently taken care of when their time comes. Additionally, they get peace of mind that their loved ones wouldn't be saddled with the load of arrangements when they die.

Whether you're considering getting a pre-arrangement plan for yourself or you are preparing for a loved one's memorial, you can ask the help of a funeral home. Mount Vernon in Singapore has memorial homes that can handle all the arrangements necessary for a funeral service.
