Handa ka na ba?—Mamatay? In English, Are you ready?-- to die? This question often resonates, serving as a poignant reminder that a tragic conclusion to a person's life journey is possible and that one must be prepared for the myriad situations life can present. This question also makes people speechless and scared of the thought of dying. It also reveals a need for people and communities for death preparation, not only mental, emotional, and spiritual preparedness but also financial. In the Philippines, most Filipinos have no idea how to be prepared for this tragic stage of life called death. When we hear the word death, it sounds taboo, morbid, and a topic that people do not want to talk about. Cultural values, socioeconomic status, religious perspectives, and personal experiences play a significant role in how individuals prepare for death. Sadly, death sounds like a burden that most of the time passes onto others when it comes to the financial aspect. This study focuses on how Filipinos prepare for their death (or do they?). This study interrogates the following: From a Christian perspective, how Filipinos prepare spiritually to go to a better place in the afterlife, where the soul undergoes individual judgment. Second, how financial planning is a part of a process of accepting your own death, like investigating the literal cost of dying through interviewing some funeral and memorial businesses, and the experiences of families/individuals; knowing the impact of culture and socioeconomic status on how an individual prepares for death and describe how Filipinos traditionally celebrate death in wakes and burials. In this study, the researcher will outline the results of her investigations through ethnographic fieldwork conducted during Undas 2024 at the Forest Lake Memorial Park, using a focused group discussion (FGD) and interviews, and consolidating all perspectives from anthropology, religion (but focused on Christian views), history and other related fields.
