3. Monks described in their books that after death the body experiences miserable tortures in order to purify soul from the sins that it made in the world.
4. Seneca describes death is that the ceremony of death is one of the major cause of human fear from death. Mourning dresses, weeping and lifeless face of the dead body increase the death fears.
