Why Do People Use Burial Ceremonies To Show Affluence? by biafrakwenu(m): 12:20am On Nov 05, 2013 |
Let's celebrate the lives of our loved ones while they are still living and quit using burial ceremonies to show affluence. If you cannot celebrate when there is life, why bother when there is death? The dead should be mourned and not celebrated as it amounts to mockery because they cannot celebrate with you. Eating and drinking during burial ceremonies is definitely unchristian, but because of our wickedness we chose to continue with this heathen practice! The bereaved is crying not because of the loss but for what we so called "Christians" will eat and drink on the burial day. The church now sees an opportunity to recover all monies being owed by the dead and family members otherwise no church burial. When the church cannot forgive even the dead, then it is not a christian church because forgiveness leads to Christ. If the church be the judge, no poor man will go to Heaven. The dependents of the dead - God save them. 26 Likes |

Someone will come and say, i'll tke care of the burial, anoda pson will say, live the food and music part for me, and when the dead pson was still alive, this was the same pple he/she went to meet for help, but they told him/her that they don't have money. After they will say they're christian, they are wicked.... Qus= What does a Christain mean Ans= Christ Like 5 Likes |

You dont expect people to leave their works and come from far and wide to spend hours with you just to go home on empty stomach. 3. The church you are accusing of extorting money from the bereaved or taking advandage of the dead also contribute money for the burial and if they did not collect their money then when will they collect it? 7 Likes |

People tend to overdo things when it comes to burial ceremonies... |
Re: Why Do People Use Burial Ceremonies To Show Affluence? by DEGREE2466(m): 9:18am On Nov 05, 2013 |
There is nothing like overdoing of anything here. I can see the Ops is reasoning from pover*y. If you get small change now you will see reason to celebrate even the death of your goat. If someone faints because of hunger in a burial ceremony what will happen then? Will we follow the dead person to the grave Please lets celebrate our dead ones because we are not their killer Even the bible admonish us not to mourn like unbelievers so why do you want the living to suffer because someone dies? 2 Likes |

I get confused sometimes when i go for burials, some people celebrate burials as if it is 25th of december but isn't like this in the olden days. People do not longer cry anymore for their loved one. |

MCKULQ: I get confused sometimes when i go for burials, some people celebrate burials as if it is 25th of decemberLikewise me. Burial should not be accompanied with pomp and pageantry. It is meaningless! Often times the family of the dead are always apprehensive of where to get the money for the burial of there loved one which ought not to. I still prefer the Muslim's way of burial- devoid of all the celebrations. Afterall, vanity upon vanity... 12 Likes |

kolawaxxy: I love the way muslims bury their dead; bury the corpse, say some few prayers then go home.Exactly and that is the sort of burial I wish to get when I eventually die. There are people who just avoid you under the pretense of working and hope to see your lifeless body in a box before interment and eat all sorts of food for free to justify their attendance. |

How do you want people to bury their love ones? Or how do u intend us to bury u just tell us please. Just abandon your body? Hmmm |

To say that some people even celebrate the death of children or adolescents is disheartening. |
