Hi great hivians.. Hope we all enjoyed our Christmas.
Am bringing to us the activities of a lecturers dad's burial I attended today at Etinan a local government area in Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria..
I was opportune to take some pictures at the venue of the burial which I will be displaying below.
For those who are not from Nigeria here is how are burial are always conducted.
The first activity was the carrying of the coffin to the lying in state room.
The undertaker's (coffin carriers) dancing with the coffin to the lying in state room.
Still in the dancing process, as it is the tradition of the place, the female daughters dance in front..
The daughters in front of the undertaker's..
So after all the dancing the undertaker's later took the coffin to the room were the lying in state was to take place..
Now after the lying in state process, they later moved to the venue of the burial which was some kilometers from the family compound...
Our main duty at the venue of the burial as students was to help with the serving of food which we gladly did...
