just my opinion

I’ve been a wake all night because I attended the funeral of my friend’s aunt and it’s quite exhausting to stay up I have to drink 3 cups of coffee just to keep me stimulated and conscious. I have learn a lot of stuff while I’m observing the custom and those are the things that I can define as no means
First, the casket is so expensive almost worth more or less 100ths which I think is not wise at all because when the time the person is still alive buying a cheaper bed is a must maybe a 4ths up is what we think expensive to enjoy, the rationale is that the person who is no longer alive will never experience the warmth and joy of being in a 100ths worth coffin and that’s for sure.
Second, the flowers that is being display and offered is useless because he/she can no longer smell and appreciate its beauty, why is it that when he/she is alive no one ever care to give a bunch of roses?
Third, the candles is light up 24 hours during the funeral this is a tradition that says “ a candle represents light in the way which the soul of the person who die will still bring hope in his journey and is an aid as he walk” which I say its too late. While the person is alive the only hope that can lead him in a path of delight is JESUS the one who can save us from all fears and the only way to accomplish Heaven. And he can no longer see it when he hasn’t have JESUS, no matter how many candle you will light it will be no use but for display. It is much more important a candle in a birthday cake that a person can be grateful for than a candle which he cannot even glimpse at.
Forth, the word of the people which honors the person when he is dead is useless because he can no longer hear it and realized he is loved.
And lastly the prayer that is given for him is futile no longer is it needed. He can never be save no matter how many times you prayed it’s too late. It is better than nothing at all.

This is just my opinion…

GODBLESS you all..
