Death comes to all of us whether we like it or not. Usually it is a surprise and we and our survivors are not ready to accept it. Think ahead. Plan ahead. Let me be your advocate for your cemetery arrangements at a steep discount to face value. These arrangements can be bought at a discount. Think about it. We all shop around now for the best price for food, cars, clothes, electronics, etc. Funeral home and cemetery prices are high. Why not save money if you can.
Deathternity talks about all things death related. There are 1 million+ owned graves in cemeteries in America that people will not use. Cemeteries do not buy graves back. I would encourage people to begin thinking about either selling or buying these graves at a deep discount to what your cemetery charges. Or you can donate unused graves for a tax deduction. If I can help you with this please contact me here, email me at deathternity@gmail.com, or call me at 215-341-8745. My fees vary.

Death Poetry and Burial at a Discount
The poet Tomas Transtromer of Sweden just won the 2011 Nobel Prize in Literature. His poems find "depth in simplicity." He wrote: "In the middle of life it happens that death comes and measures man. The visit is forgotten and life continues. But the suit is made, quietly." There has been much poetry written about death. Many beautiful epitaphs are like poems. Perhaps poetry can help us move through death.
