This post is not for those who easily faint.
We get old. We rot. We die. We do not know when death comes. It is one of the most random things in life. When does death come?
We do not know, obviously. You could get a heart attack at any second. You can just pass out, unexpectedly. You can even die in your sleep!
There is more to just death. People just do not die and lay lifeless!Something more happens. Death is a gateway to a new life, or so people say. Even Catholic mass songs know that there is more to just being dead. They say, “Lord we owe ourselves to you”. If I am not mistaken, it means we get to go somewhere after death, or we are enough a payment for His sacrifices. So there really is more to just being dead. To many death is not just something that happens, but actually a favor. It can change the tide of life. A death in a quarrelling family may bring them back to bond together again. Adeath of a superstar earned him more respect than the days he lived.

But death, how do humans take care of it?
Cremation: the process of reducing dead human bodies to basic chemical compounds in the form of gases and bone fragments. To put it simply, dead bodies are reduced to ashes.
The most traditional of all death rites however is burying. First, there is going to be a funeral. After the funeral, the body is laid in a dug grave. As I said, there is more to just being dead and laying lifeless on the ground. We get old. We die. Ultimately, we rot, and to dust we return.
It is sad that we do not always get to see the final stage of being dead, that is decomposing. But, see for yourselves. ^_^
