Death is an important part of life,, the old is replaced by the new
Yes we are all going to die. All that has life must die. It is one of the most important gift of life, to replace the old with the new and that new will be the young generation - our children. But we are not going to die today nor tomorrow. Someday. No one knows the hour and time of day. It is written at the scriptures. But when that time comes, we are ready, no panic and more worries in that great hour of need.
But as goal oriented as most of our, we do not want to be thrown and disposed off to be forgotten in some dirty, forlorn forsaken place. We want our remains to be dignified and honored in a great, dignified, clean and beautiful place - a memorial park, where our remains and that of our loved ones can be honored in a special way and possibly immortalized
We want to be remembered in a special place in a special way
The death rate in our country stands at 0.05%. For a country of about 100 million, that would be 500,000 a year. (Worldwide about 350 million of the 7 billion earthlings die every year.) Most of them about 70% or 350t will find their way into cemeteries: both Catholic and municipal where they would be resting for 5 years and lease renewed after 5 years. About a 100t will be buried in memorial parks or cremated.
Now can the memorial park industry keep pace with the death rate.? One doubts that. No new memorial parks because of the stringent rules come on stream (100 meters set back, compliance with new STP rules). The regulations are many and stiff.
As the world is not getting bigger every day, it is suggested that one buys one now. In my hometown, it was a buyers market 20 years ago and price stood at P5t per plot. Now the inventories are gone. It is a sellers market (not us) no inventories are available. If you want a plot, it will set you back by P120t if someone can sell.
