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?

Choosing A Beautiful Tombstone Cemetery

By Tom Tree


When people are looking for a headstone grave to honor a loved one, they will want to take their time and find a stone that exhibits radiance and beauty. Professionals can help them make good decisions. Because loved ones will want to give their relatives the best possible send-off, they should do some research with reputable vendors.

Different cemeteries will have different characteristics. City plots, for example, are often found in the backs of large churches. Many of these facilities are very old and perhaps even overcrowded. Thus, the plots can be expensive. Individuals may have to choose a headstone that is low key so that it fits in with the others.

Rural cemeteries offer their own benefits. They are often located out in the country and will thus allow for more space. Some of these plots may even be cheaper. In fact, headstones that are set up in rural areas will have a special kind of elegance. As long as the correct stone is chosen, the final resting location should look peaceful and elegant.

Private burials will be available in some cases. If a celebrity has recently died and owns quite a bit of property, then a memorial grave can be set up on private property. At these funerals, usually only a few close family members are invited to take part in the proceedings. This way, everything should go off without any hitches at all.

Granite is usually a smart choice. The rock is known to hold up for long periods of time and will not give people any problems. Granite, in fact, often shows off many different colors. Organizers can select a style and texture that matches the personality of the person who has recently died. Pink crystals, for example, can offer a sense of peace.

Once the entire ceremony has ended, individuals can begin placing flowers on the grave. Many cemeteries have certain rules for how long the flowers will be allowed to remain, so mourners should check these regulations. Flowers of all types will be fine, but roses and tulips are usually the most elegant.

In the end, finding a Headstone Grave does not have to be overly difficult. When men and women take their time during the process, a lovely stone can be found and placed in the ground without any problems. With granite or marble or another durable rock, the etching will be able to be read for many years down the road.
