Some cultures have tried to make death and funerals part of life, to lessen the sense of loss and finality. The majority of those bearing the name 'Christian' have concluded that man has an 'immortal soul' or some element of immortality within him which survives death, going on to some place of reward or punishment afterwards.
Hao wengi wachukuao jina la "Kristo" Wamedhani, kuwa mtu anayo'Roho - nafsi isiyokufa’ au kitu fulani kinachoishi milele ndani yake kinachopona mauti; kinaendelea kuishi sehemu nyingine zaidi na jambo liletalo huzuni kwa mwanadamu, itegemewe ya kwamba moyo wa mtu umezoezwa sana kupunguza mgongano wa akili yake; kwa hiyo shabaha yote ya nadharia potovu imetokea kuhusu mauti na desturi hasa za mtu.
