Are there any religious backing?
is it even right?
why spend so much money?
Yes, it is certain everybody will die, death is sure
but is death really worth celebrating
Lately,I have been thinking if thr's really the need for it.
Why not just drop the dead 6ft underground and thats it! everybody leave for their home.
Instead of disturbing the dead with so much noise.

What are your views?

Wrong. Very wrong.

aaronson:
Left to me, there are many ceremonies that are so worthless of celebrating, celebration such as Burial, Naming Ceremony, Christmas, Birthday, babyshower, bridal shower, Bachelors eve and remembrance.

They don't make no single sense.

Are you JW?

Pls let the pastors or freeze teach us what bible said about burial so we can learn biblically. Thanks

I prefer the Islamic way

Rather use d moni to help dose Dat r alive..once u r dead,nobody cares abt u..

do you know how many living people will be fed at someone's burial?

Do you kniw how many poor people will getv money from picking from whatever someone else has sprayed on a burial day?

If you do a quiet burial, you will not feed anyone, nobody will benefit from you that day and the whole village will curse your family for being stingy

in Islam, we call it Isroff, spending lavishly

I can't even eat in any burial ceremony

EmperorHarry:

Nah I'm indifferent but one thing I've learnt is that we're not all born the same...Everybody with their preferences, the moment you start to accept that fact,life becomes a whole lot easier and your perspective changes..Things that were meant to bother you before won't anymore cos you know that we ain't all the same.
We most have opposites for this world to be balanced...the rich and the poor,the smart ones and the dumb ones,the winners and losers,the people who like school and the ones who don't etc.

Hmmmm... den dere shld b no punishment for stealing, raping, killing etc.

In my own opinion, it is totally wrong.

The money being lavished could be used to help the living.

Damibiz:
As for me,that is the last respect i can pay to my love ones especially my father nd mother,for what they hv don for me...as lng as i gat the cash,believe u me,i will gv this two individuals a grand burial that will be remembered for ages..bt like my dad alway said...."dont ever borrow money for my burial when i'm death".....may the good lord gv me cash to carry out my plan in Jesus name Amen

Celebrate them while they are alive! Mark there Birthdays,give them quality care,make them feel loved, visit them...there is no amount of respect that you give the dead that he will appreciate.

Thats why we are africans. we are full of ceremonies. we even take amala and ewedu to protests..
Imagine Africa without beer and rice for a whole year.

FORGETTING AND DOING AWAY WITH RELIGION, Spending some extraordinary cash on burial doesn't worth it , the dead is gone !!!....just make a little arrangements and pay tributes and Ode (LAST RESPECT)to the dead and live on ...it's called IDARO in yoruba, just to show that the DEPARTURE ISN'T EASY, we do this because we are humans , birds, rats and cats don't do that ...but after all , Life goes on,,who know's who's next !!!

Human existence would be so boring without all these unnecessary celebrations hahahaha why not if you have the money??but investing on those that are still alive should be paramount!!!

if death is not the reason,celebrate more and more if you worked for the money

Hahahahaha I can't agree less

it waste of money, what you can give the person when alive

Is just a simple answer of choice

It isn’t a matter of right or wrong; it is simply pointless. Some of the people we celebrate in death, we ignored while alive.

If the money is not borrowed from u what is your own?.don't other service providers get blessed during these ceremonies,does the area boys not get paid for watching your range rover while you party?

Fucking waste of time and money

This is why I love muslims

The topic is not about religion. And who told you that Muslim do not celebrate. Are you sure you are still living?

As an anti-cultural, anti-tribal person what I I thought to say maybe misconstrued as being offensive so I refrain from commenting. But when I pass on I sincerely do hope it will not leave humanity worse off... most especially those I claim to love. Please bury me when you can, how you can and where you can. I guarantee you it won't hurt my feelings for I will be very, very dead.

Is it a celebration or are they just entertaining the people around?

I have seen many old men and women roaming the street without a gram of care from their children or the government. No body cares how they feed including myself. Wait and see how they will start killing innocent cows when they eventually died of cold and loneliness. And you ll be surprise where the modafuvks children comes from

Well I see it as celebration of life , however if its too lavish that's in the people doing it, after not like the dead can appreciate the effort. If I die if my people like spend lavishly or not that's their business, because I won't be in that capacity to care. Lol

hakeem4:

I believe it’s just part of the African mentality where we celebrate almost anything.
1) we buy car - we celebrate
2) build house - we celebrate
3) give birth - we celebrate
Birthday - we celebrate
It’s just our mentality

I agree with you

You are wrong that mentality is not only in AFRICA its happens every where in the world it is a general believe,culture and religion of the people.

Hmmmm I will make a *reference* to this quote anytime someone brings up burial again nice comment.

It's stupid and wrong just like lavish weddings...

This is why I love muslims

if i hear..

Yeah Muslims bury their dead immediately.. But months later they still do what you call the final burial party.. where they throw a lavish party eating and drinking.

As long as you aren't overdoing it. Cut your coat to your size. And you are good. Just that westernisation makes us to sometime soon abolish our traditions
