It is well said that, “Death is not opposite of life, but a part of it…”

From a very young age I didn’t knew what exactly death is. That is why even today I am still confused that, is death an end to just a body, or is it an end to the existence of a being. It was somehow cleared that day when my grandmother died. I saw everybody crying on her funeral, except my grandfather and my dad. Because they both devoted their life to give her every happiness in the world, as a loving husband and a sincere son. That day I understood that crying after death is useless unless you have given love and respect to that person when he was alive.

The profile written by Brian Cable is a great combination of ideas, thoughts, values and mainly how different people see a mortuary. Starting from the title, it is a self-explanatory title that well defines the topic. Also, the passage is a well written profile as the writer made a great use of poetic devices. Such as “It looked a bit like a church- tall, with gothic arches” where a metaphor is used to compare mortuary to a church. And use of personification in sentence “Come in,” said the sign. “We’re always open.” Made it more interesting.

It is so well written that a clear picture of the building is automatically built in the brain of the reader. From “windows stamped out of red brick” through “lush green lawns and meticulously groomed gardens” to “the stone steps to the entrance”, it is very well written. In my opinion it is a great passage and no more enhancements can be made.
