Letter to family and friends in Bolans Village, St. Mary’s Parish
I want to ask readers a question before I begin, what do you think about the excessive amount of money people pay on funerals?
I am against paying substantial amount of money on a dead body and funerals.
I believe that when I die, no money from me or another shall be used to pay for any coffin, no money shall be paid to a church for its use, no money shall be paid to a pastor to preach God’s words, and no money shall be paid for a coffin (please get an old box thrown out by the grocery store and put my body in that or in nothing at all).
No money (mine or yours) shall be paid for show or what you call respect while I am dead. It must never ever happen. Do not even use an expensive suit. You can bury me naked. Folks alive need clothes on this planet, that have nothing.
When I die, I want my money to be given to family, and to help my community. To help provide medical care to those alive that are sick, feed those that are alive but hungry, to educate those that are alive but want to progress morally, not spent on my dead body.
So, whether the funeral would have cost $20,000 to $100,000 (I have no clue what funeral cost and I will never know) but that money should not be used on my dead and non-existing self. People alive need it, not my dead body.
So, no matter if I have $1ec and $5usd or whether I have $11 million EC and $20 million USD, or whatever the amount I may have on my debt. My funeral should not cost more than $1 (1 dollar) and that is still too much. I am dead. Folks who are alive needs medication, food, education, and other necessities.
Get a true pastor of God, he/she would not demand or want or hope for payment for the burial of a dead useless body. Find a church (hopefully, valley church) but a church made up of true Godly people who would not demand money for using the church for a funeral service of a dead body.
Any person who violates my will would not be in my will and trust. No matter what I have accomplished while I am alive, I do not want any extravagant funeral on my dead body while people are alive and are still suffering.
I continue to help in my way, and this is just my way of helping. Find people that genuinely loves you and will sacrifice for you. You deserve so much more.

I personally believe funerals are way too expensive in this place. I really do not understand why a decent funeral should exceed $3500. To me more than that is madness
Interesting!
Hmm something to think about..
The Dead is big business now!🤔
I do understand yr sentiments but unfortunately we are living in a commercial world and a world where people at funerals to socialize & showcase their attire
God’s word should be free. The churches should be used for free.
What is really disheartening is that some religious ministers are turning persons down to use their church for funerals bcuz the decease was not a member or a regular attendee to the church
Well i don’t know who this is, but this is 1 of the most profound and realistic article I’ve read which is morally articulated with sense of reality in which each and everyone outside ” commerce ” could relate with critical thinking. I thank for taking the time out to put this together! Bless.
Totally agree with this person, in every single aspect.
@Nraib Muselas,
Thank you for that sincere post. I genuinely believe in what was published.
@ Letter to family and friends.
You are in the here and now, to celebrate and be thankful for the journey of an Earth’s
passage, thus given without asking or, consent. As you might be informed, and be of knowledge of the, second, minute and hour of your chronograph; in the consciousness of your physical being: and that you have no control of you finality as per inhalation and exhaletion. It would be therefore fitting, that your value for your Earth’s passage be concluded as you have chosen-dust to dust/ ashes to ashes: except, the dead has no choice after death. And the choice of the arrangement for your home going- is left to the perogative values of the living, who might be imbued with sentiments reserved for the appeasement of the living’s purview. You might want to request a funeral pryer of Dantey’s Inferno or, a Davie Boy submersible for your abstract transitioning. But the facts remains the same- you will be dead and gone so, please make known your philanthropic desire to impart with your worldly lagesse to the known; while you are still among the living-so as to be reassured that, your honorable intentions will be attest as you wish. And in remembrance: For he-was a jolly good fellow- which no one will deny. And don’t forget the repass, eh. Lmao.
