The full meaning, as I was always taught. Community Service has always been a staple throughout my life. Church every sunday, Chior practice after school most days, 4H club activities. Whether it is volunteering for A BBQ for a local memenber to earn money for burial or cremation. It cost money, my mother passed away in early May, RIP, chose to be creamated. Smart choice, Now i can lay her remains with her parents down in Long Beach, Ca. c$895 dollars. So to really understand the term Pay it forward this information is more powerful, because of the knowledge content of what I need all of you to know. Is really necessary to have a full blown funeral anymore? not for me thanks, Save your life insurance money for what you want to do with hit. cremation is way better, less expensive. etc etc etc. who ever spends more than 20,000.00 for a burial is not practical.
