What becomes of the contents of the crematorium urn? Life is so ironic that if we are fortunate enough that we continue to live one of the few sureties that we have is that one day we all are going to die. The big thing then is this, will anyone remember us after we die and what are we leaving for those we shall leave behind?
To be buried these days and be given a tomb or a headstone is becoming a big thing. Hopefully the tomb will have a marker to say who body lies there. There are many persons that die and their bodies are cremated and no one really care what becomes of their ashes and after a time the urn and its contents are forgotten.
This is in direct contrast to the efforts that are made to ensure that others whose presence have graced this earth are immortalized and their names and memory live on for ever.
There are many ways that you and I can ensure that our names lives on and that when our body dies it is not as if we had never been present on this earth.
Each of us today can look at what we are accumulating so that we have something to leave for those coming after us. It is not enough to have lived on this earth and then die but there is nothing to indicate that we ever existed on this earth.
