In modern-day European-based folklore, Death is known as the Grim Reaper depicted in the as wearing a dark hooded cloak and wielding a scythe.
The garb of Death or the black mourning robe, which the first references are found in the early fifteenth century, is very close to the robe of the priest or monk who officiated at the death bed. It is interesting to note that the dead body itself was never garbed in black -- the colour of the winding sheet or shroud seems always to have been white.
The scythe is an image that reminds us that Death reaps the souls of sinners like the peasant harvest corn in his field. Each movement of the scythe brings thousands of souls.
In Greek mythology, Chronos (Cronus) was the king of titans and the father of Zeus. He was also a harvest god called Father Time and carried a sickle which is a tool used in harvesting grain. The Grim Reaper carrying a scythe are directly derived from Cronus. The myth of Chronos eating his children was used in a poetic sense for time devouring all things, as in the old saying "nothing lasts forever."
The three Greek words that were either related originally or related through confusion later were: Chronus (meaning "time"), Cronus (the god of harvest before the Greek gods took over), and corone (meaning "crow"). Little wonder then that we often see a crow accompanying the Grim Reaper.

What exactly do u want to know about death? I don't know much really.I wanted to die for a long time then i figured that wasnt the answer to my problem,although i remain curious as to what happens when u die. I've heard a lot of things like if u kill urself u go to hell some say purgatory. also if u die before ur time ur soul will roam the earth till it figures it's done what it's had to.umm there's the theory of reincarnation.well i'm sure i haven't helped any but it was worth a try.

Them that ask should not know too much of the answer.
From NDE's to combat to starvation to Zazen......
death is the bridge all will cross.
forget about that. Avoid reckless living but enjoy your life.
From that picture I'd say you need not be concerned.
if someone close to you has or may soon pass. Know that this
is the process and how wonderful the other side; not something to flash on your screen while on the internet eh?
peace: SLOAN

It depends on what you'd like to know. When I was back in school, I researched it thoroughly and grossed out the entire class with my account of how the body bloats up from the bacteria, and other such things. It was great, because I had pcitures to go with it, and it was a class right before lunch...

Death is the only truth in life. The rest all is illusion. Every living thing has to die.

www.deathclock.com ask THEM! My husband died this past May and I was sitting by his hospital bed. He was staring at the wall which had no pictures or window. I asked what are you looking at? He said heaven. I said what does it look like. He said it was blue with lights. He was on NO meds at this time and alert. I read somewhere that souls look like points of lights and this is what he might have seen. I asked are you afraid and he said no. 3 days later he died.
