The gift of life is the most precious of all treasures. This is why we all long for long life. It’s granted to many. But, no matter how long our lives are, we all know that there’s a day when must leave our physical cloaks. Most people don’t like to think about this, but it’s actually better to think about it. It’s highly helpful to reflect now and then on what happens when we transition into the afterlife?
Such reflections remind us that there will be a final accounting. Such reflections remind us that one day, we’d have to stand before the ultimate judge. Such reflections can help us become better human beings, not because we are afraid, but because we realize through our reflections that our lives are indeed short and that the best thing we can do is to show genuine love for all human beings. By living a life of love, we can elevate ourselves and other human beings.
Genuine love for all! Yes, that’s the secret to a life that’s truly beautiful, a life that’s pleasing to the Lord. If this love is true, it never dies, even when our loved ones depart the flesh and transition into eternity. It’s this desire, this love to create a befitting facility for our loved ones who have departed the flesh that led to the establishment of Heaven’s Forecourt (www.heavenforecourt.com).
I have had the privilege of knowing the founder for almost two decades, and this is a project that’s been dear to his heart for a long time. It’s a labour of love. The founder and his team conducted extensive research and recognized a sad truth — most of the cemeteries in our environments are shameful structures! Even though we often spend thousands and millions on aso-ebi and parties, the bodies of most of our departed loved ones are interred in some dirty, disorganized, unsafe cemeteries!
Heaven’s Forecourt (HFC) was established to address the deficiencies observed during the research phase. I’ll share its wonderful features and contact details, soon. The team observed that adequate attention is not devoted to most of our cemeteries. Miscreants can be easily found hanging out in some. There’s often no security, or where there are, it often leaves a lot to be desired. In some of these cemeteries, one can actually see that some graves have crumbled and are open for all to see!
There are a few cemeteries that are exceptional – they are first- rate. Yes, there are. But, you’d have to part with millions. Yes, you read that right, millions.
Heaven’s Forecourt’s founder is focused on a first-rate cemetery that’s also affordable. In a nutshell, that’s what HFC is. You don’t have to go into debt when you lose a loved one. Everyone deserves a befitting burial and for those who have been privileged to visit HFC they attest to the fact that it’s indeed a heartwarming facility.
Beauty, solemnity, and security are the watchwords.
Lest I forget, here are what HFC has to offer and its contact details.
