Moving On In Wholesale Urns

By Donna Roberts


Food expires. The date at which it does so is at the bottom of the packaging. In fact, everything expires, even the universe will cease to be one day. The human being is among the many things that expires, but the human being also has sentience, which means that a person knows that they are going to die someday. As such, many people start planning ahead, some order wholesale urns in lieu of caskets.

There is no escaping death. It comes for everyone and everything and at any time. There is nothing in the world that can stop it. It takes and it takes and it gives neither an inch nor a care as to who it is taking. It does matter if a person has a family who needs them. Death has never discriminated. Color, creed, or class, all are equal and all equally die.

Human try everything in their power to hold on for as long as possible. Many try to extend the natural lifespan, expending resources to take pseudoscientific pills and treatments under the belief that doing so means not dying. Being healthy does extend the natural lifespan, but dying is not always natural. Accidents and murders happen.

But some people do not try to extend life, merely to leave a legacy. For many people, a legacy means descendants, sons to carry on a family name and daughters to birth those who carry on the bloodline. To others, legacy means personal greatness, to achieve something so profound that their name is remembered even hundreds of years after shuffling off the mortal coil.

Every culture and religion in the world has some concept of giving due to the dead. The rule of thumb is to never speak ill of the dead, even if the dead was vile in life. Many cultures around the world have different ways of commemorating the dead, the most common being the eulogy and the funeral. In the ancient world, a person would often be cremated with a coin to two, to pay the ferryman taking souls to the next life.

Planning ahead will not make dying easier. Dying is still a scary thing to do. But planning ahead can make it easier for the loved ones left behind. A funeral is a logistical hellhole. Getting affairs in order beforehand saves the heartbroken a headache.

Aside from being a logistical nightmare, a funeral is an expensive one. The venue must be paid for. Religious figures must be given a stipend. Then there is the coffin. The coffin is a wooden box that is going to into the ground. It serves other purpose other than to go into the ground with a dead body inside of it and yet it costs a lot of money. Even after the funeral, upkeep of the grave has to be paid for. An urn is much cheaper.

An urn is also easier to store than a coffin. Coffins go into graves and graves cost money to buy and maintain. But an urn can be placed just about anywhere.

Dying is not about a grand funeral or a leaving a legacy. It is about passing on from this world and maybe on to another. But planning ahead makes things easier for those left behind.
