Cell phones a hot favourite among the dead
in General Discussions
Do you love something or someone so much that you want to take them with you to the grave. If cell phones
are something that fits into that category, fret not, you are not alone. A new survey reveal that around 1.5 million Britons want their mobile phones beside them in the coffin when they take their final rest in peace.

The survey commissioned by the Post Office financial services, opined that people need to plan their funerals, rather than leave loved ones confused on what their real wish were. A shift from the traditional notions of funerals, British families consider the occasion as a a celebration of life, rather than a time for tears.

    While Britons prefer worldly things with them in grave, the Hindus deliver such things to Brahmans on shradh for onward transmission to the dead. The Hindu way at least serves puprose of some. Thus Hindus are wisest.

    Personally, I shall not like anything after death but even donate my body to Hospital.

    I had read about this latest trend! I only hope that these mobile phones are turned off prior to the burial or the ringing phones may cause serious dyspepsia to the caretaker of the cemetery!

    On serious note, Gulshan's comments are indeed worth taking note of !
