Burial Societies For Celebrities

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!
