Is death a taboo subject ?

Individual tragedies are highlighted in accidents &wars etc but the inevitability of everyones demise is rarely discussed -is it from fear ?Do "we" exist before our physical life ? or afterwards ? Are we part of infinity & space ? As in the old song " whats it all about Alfie ?"

    It depends on the group of people and their comfort. I know its not a taboo subject to me, but for the elderly or fiercely spiritual it might be considered bad taste to bring it up
