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.
But clinging to life, with every ounce of power and determination, is simply an intrinsic human survival mechanism. Medical treatments to extend life are an ever popular option. But when those fail, people turn to pseudoscience and mysticism. Of course, it should be said that being healthy does help a person live longer and improves the overall quality of life. Still, no matter how healthy a person is, a fatal accident or outright murder can still befall them.
A few rise above the fear of dying. Well, maybe not rise above it, but accept the inevitability of it. Some do everything to live well. Some hope to continue on in some form through family by insuring the continued existence of their bloodline. Some seek to be so great that the world has no choice but to remember them.
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.
Life can be lived one moment from the next. A person can live their life essentially flying by their seat of their pants. But dying should not be taken as lightly as living. Planning ahead helps to assure that the days following the last day go smoothly for those left behind, people who are undoubtedly dealing with their own grief and might not have the capacity to plan the logistical nightmare that is a funeral.
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 simpler. There is no need for a grave. An urn can be stored anywhere.
The scariest thing about dying is how inevitable it is. Humanity prides itself on control and dying is completely out of human control. But it happens to everyone and affairs should be settled beforehand.
