Cruikshank's Funeral Analysis

As I walked into the funeral home the first question that came to mind was how can an individual work here and get the job done. Mr. Jackson’s started his talk answering the first question that came to mind. He explained that we all are caregivers in a different way and not everyone could do his job. In addition the realization is everyone have a special gift and blessing. My main impressions of Mr. Johnson’s talk were every question he asked throughout his speech, it made me think on the spot. He asked about how would we want to be remembered or if someone you loved passed away how do you prepare or when was the last time you kissed your parents or friends and told them you love them. It was also a reality check when he announced that death rates are 100% and we are all in it together. My impression as he continued was material things are not important, and nothing else will be significant once we died. I also felt joy and positivity when he said Cruikshank’s Funeral Home and other ones throughout the world bring together family and community. However, in
My views go both ways regarding whether or not it’s necessary to have a funeral. There’s a saying “Love me and give me flowers while I’m alive to enjoy it. When I’m dead I don’t know your feelings. Show me love while I’m here on this earth to enjoy you through the good and bad times”. With that being quoted I am biased on having a funeral or not. However funerals to an extent can be unnecessary mainly because of it being expensive which can be considered unnecessary spending. The money, time and effort should be spent on that person alive so that they will be able to appreciate it. In addition, whether or not a funeral is necessary depends on what that particular person asked for, family members being able to afford it, cultural backgrounds, or how that person died.
