“What did it matter where you lay once you were dead? In a dirty sump or in a marble tower on top of a high hill? You were dead, you were sleeping the big sleep, you were not bothered by things like that. Oil and water were the same as wind and air to you.”
- Raymond Chandler
Raymond Thornton Chandler was an Anglo-American author of crime stories and novels in the early 1900’s.
This is a thought–provoking quote. Do these things matter to us when we’re dead? Would we really notice or even care whether we were laid to rest “In a dirty sump or in a marble tower on top of a high hill”?
What do the readers think? Which of you believe that we are definitely aware of our body’s surroundings once we have passed, and which of you think that our souls will rest elsewhere? Hmmmm....
I do hope that Raymond Chandler made the right choice!

Will this shiny, comfy coffin do?
