Why Do People Iron Their Clothes Before They Die? by deturla: 8:33am On Sep 14, 2019
This is really deep and requires a sense of spirituality to understand and decipher, and because I do not know a lot about life and death, I'm not sure how to answer.

A reader of my relationship blog sent the text to me on WhatsApp, and truth is I've seen a lot of cases people get to iron their clothes before they die.

You can see my response below.

Now why do they do this?

Is it because they are embarking on journey?
Or because it is not their time yet?
Or a mere coincidence?

So that someone can have something to inherit after they are gone. Also, they care about what posterity would have to say about them, they want others to remember them for their cleanliness and godliness in life dealings.

Looking at it from a proverbial angle, there is that completeness that engulfs one when you iron your clothes.

Wow!

How about looking at it from a spiritual angle?

Can we your explanation should suffice too?

My dad had his clothes washed and pressed two days before he left us. Got to know this from my mom.
I didn't read any meaning to it since my dad was always impeccable in his appearance.

As a believer, I hope to see him at resurrection.

I typed this in tears. Lord! It's gon be a year next month and I still miss him so very much. Rest on daddy. sad

Wow...May his soul continue to rest in peace.

Please accept my deepest condolences.

Are you in Lagos? Will there be a remembrance service for him?

This and the subject of the thread amuses me.
So before the invention of irons in the days when no one pressed clothes, there was no completeness?

I fail to see the relationship between a human invention(pressing irons) and a celestial event(death) which precedes time itself.
