You can now order coffins online. Just like many other things that the Internet has made democratic, we can now include the packaging of death as one of them. In one US website of caskets for sale, they even counseled that you should not be forced by your chosen funeral home to buy a casket from them. They even added that you be beware of claims about the quality of the casket, saying, "It should be noted that no coffin could preserve a body forever." This was quite puzzling. Do people who bury their dead really worry about this when they pick a coffin?

(First of two parts)

"De Rerum Natura" is taken from a poem by Lucretius (99 to 55 BC), which translates as "On the Nature of Things." It was a poem that offered so many inspiring reasons on why and how we can stop living in fear and ignorance of the unknown and start understanding the world, ourselves.
