ARE YOU READY FOR A FUNERAL SIMULATOR !!

The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.

So here is a chance to experience your cremation with the help of death simulator.

But the question is, are you really interested in seeing you getting cremated? 
n if it is a yes, then there is something which you really want to know.
Two Chinese philanthropists have created a “death simulator” allowing willing participants to experience cremation.

The Samadhi Game, located in a corner of the Window of the World amusement park in Shenzhen, opened in September 2014 and for roughly £26 simulates players’ deaths by placing them in a coffin and then transporting them to the incinerator.
"Samadhi -- 4D Experience of Death," is a morbid "escape room" game that uses dramatic special effects to bring players close to what its creators imagine is an experience of death.
Losers get cremated -- or are at least made to lie on a conveyor belt that transports them through a fake funeral home incinerator to simulate death rites.
The faux cremator will use hot air and light projections to create what the organizers call "an authentic experience of burning."
After "cremation," participants are transferred to a soft, round, womb-like capsule, signifying their "rebirth."
And the winner?
As in life, he explains, "everyone will die eventually, no matter what they've survived."

"He'll also have to die of course," says the game's fatalistic co-founder Ding Rui.Once inside, players are then blasted by hot air (up to 40C) and light to create a false experience of cremation.

Founders Huange Weiping and Ding Rui of Shanghai 
explain, users are then ‘born again’ inside a giant, simulated
 uterus – to fit in with Chinese ideas about rebirth.
When the “burning” is over, volunteers see a womb projected on the ceiling and must crawl until they reach a large, white padded area – supposedly representing a womb – where they are “reborn”.
Ding and his partner Huang Wei-ping went to great lengths 
researching their game, investigating the cremation process 
that typically awaits 50% chinese people after death
Much of the start-up costs were covered by Jue.so, China’s version of kickstarter, with more than $65,000 raised. Similar operations have successfully opened in South Korea and Taiwan.
