Thousands Of South Koreans Fake Their Funerals To Improve Their Lives by massmediang(op): 11:28am On Nov 15, 2019
More than 25,000 people have participated in mass “living funeral” services at Hyowon Healing Center since it opened in 2012, hoping to improve their lives by simulating their deaths.

“Once you become conscious of death, and experience it, you undertake a new approach to life,” said 75-year-old Cho Jae-hee, who participated in a recent living funeral as part of a “dying well” program offered by her senior welfare center.

Dozens took part in the event, from teenagers to retirees, donning shrouds, taking funeral portraits, penning their last testaments, and lying in a closed coffin for around 10 minutes.

University student Choi Jin-kyu said his time in the coffin helped him realize that too often, he viewed others as competitors.

This is very creepy. If it were in our country, at least I would use the services of a funeral home: https://polarengraving.com/engraved-bricks/, so that it would not be so scary.

There is nothing to fear in death,death is just d beginning. When a new baby is born in this world,he or she must die in d spirit world to be reborn here. Likewise when we die in this world. There is nothing to fear in death!
