Death catches all of unexpectedly. No one really prepares for their
departure though we are fully aware that we are indeed visitors on this
earth.
But what makes people who bank not lesser than 30 grand on a good week not to pay burial societies?
Like I have said before life is nothing but a breath and it is for the
living. The minute you gasp the last heavy breath and kiss this earth
goodbye. Your book gets stored in the land of those that we will only
see on the second coming of our Lord and saviour Jesus the Nazarene.
After resurrection that is!!!
I too have contributed to a celebrity's burial. It was one of those
cases that the star, now a shadow of their former self is forced by a
record label owner to make his/her last television appearance by
begging the public to assist them on mounting health bills which quickly
turns into burial assistance as their health sadly deteriorates.
My question though is, you have seen how a number of people who once
used the fast lane you like have ended up being buried in government
cemeteries or their family had to go to money lenders uyokuquma
elihlazo ulishiyileyo.
Why has it never crossed your mind to pay or save for desperate times?
Retailers, football clubs are now cashing up in the burial industry.
Some people are even saying owning a funeral parlor is good way of
making money.
I don't know the clauses of the contract that an artist and a recording
company signs but it must be compulsory for both parties to have a
written agreement of debiting certain amount of money that will be fixed
for the artist's burial.
I know its not easy to pay money for years and not having someone dying but should a person die then it would be of great help.
Plus it would cut some slack those insurance ads that the SABC forces us to watch!
