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?

All That You Need For A Proper Memorial Service

By Patricia Campbell


Grief overcomes people when they lose somebody they love through death. Their first emotional reaction is understandably shock. It's difficult for them to believe their loved one's death. Considering the suffering that they feel can stun them, they would also find it difficult to make decisions right away, such as dealing with the funeral arrangements of the dead. The devastating hurt of losing a beloved can incapacitate the people expected to make arrangements for a proper funeral service.

But no matter how they feel, they know that their loved one should have the best memorial service. In Singapore, many memorial homes serve the needs of people who believe in various faiths and follow various traditions by performing various memorial rites. Funeral services Singapore venues also offer a one-stop place for funeral arrangement needs, such as flower arrangements, casket selections, hearse service, obituary placements, transportation for visitors, food and refreshments, and video and photo services.

For the surviving family members of the deceased, the paperwork is perhaps the most stress-inducing requirement that they need to finish. Fortunately, most Funeral parlour Singapore services also offer assistance with paperwork. They can help secure the death certificate and the medical records on the cause of death of the demised. And if the deceased was covered by insurance, they would help contact and inform the provider of the death.

It is also customary for funeral parlours to engage religious persons to officiate ceremonial rites. Since Singapore is home to a variety of cultures and spiritual beliefs, funeral homes usually have contacts with celebrants of different faith, like monks and priests. This way, all religious faiths would feel welcome and they wouldn't have to be concerned about trying to find a person to preside over the ceremony themselves.

Funeral homes can serve as a haven and a crematorium. while the cremation takes place, the friends and family of the deceased can hold a private wake. It's recommended to hire the services of a funeral director for those who wish a trouble-free funeral planning. Most funeral homes provide clients directors to spare the family the hassle of the preparation.
