Cost of Dying?

Everyone's been all hyped out about how our daily living expenses has gone up, petrol increase, inflation etc, but has anyone given any thought of the cost of dying? Death has been a taboo to a lot of people but to me, its just another path that all of us are bound to take be it early or late. How prepared are we all to face death?

Little known to everyone that the cost to die is rather expensive. Yes although its a ONE TIME COST :P but we still have to prepare for it. What will happen to your loved ones after you've departed. Will they be all right? Who's going to feed them? Are they capable to survive without you? So many questions are there to be answered.... Some might think that having an insurance policy would be enough to cover or will it? To my understanding, a typical chinese funeral would cost from a few thousand into the 5 digit zone depending on how lavish and how many nights of ceremony is being held, burial land/altar space, coffin money, etc.. all adds up to a lot. If we were to utilize lavish service for example Nirvana Memorial Services, these cost can reach the sky if you can afford them.

With those thoughts in mind, are we truely prepared to die? Some people might think that by dying, mortal problems can be solved just like that, but don't you think that these people are selfish? They only think of themselves and not those around them. They not only burden their loved ones with these cost but also left them without any reasoning. Everything in life has a solution be it great or small, hard or easy. Why choose the easy way out and burden everyone else?

So before opting for an easy way out of life, try thinking of the above before DYING!!!
