"It's Not Beautiful": Benue Family Rejects Coffin Man Brought For In-Law's Burial (Photos)

A family has rejected a coffin brought by their son in-law for the burial of his mother-in-law in Tombo Mbatie, in Buruku local government area of Benue State, IGBERETV reports.

Facebook user, Bem Raphael Aondongu, who disclosed this on his page, said the incident happened on Thursday, March 30, 2023.

The post read;

“In the early hours of today, an undisclosed family rejected a casket brought by son in-law for the burial of mother in-law."

“As the TIV tradition demands, when a mother or a father dies, the first female child who is married is saddled with the responsibility to make provision for a casket for the burial of any of the deceased parents.

"And for the maintenance of tradition, the first female child in conjunction with her husband who is a son in-law to the deceased mother, tried as he could to bring this casket in the pictures below but only to be rejected.

“According to the family of the deceased, they said the casket isn't beautiful and too poor to bury a member of their family. You can see how they casket is turned upside down.

What's your take on this?”

This isn't newsworthy, there are other things happening in Benue right now

The whites aint gat time for all these balderdash we see happening in some African places. Inlaw that inlaw this trash.

Here to see the human resting box

They should buy their own Beautiful coffin for their mother.

The son-in-law should return the coffin to the seller and collect his money back.


Case closed.

They should rap the dead body in plantain leaf and bury so we can breath. What's all the sef??

Honestly e look somehow sha
If they bury am with this kind coffin I’m seeing so, his ancestors fit deny am kpatakpata

The in-law should buy a royal casket for the family. The person to be buried deserves the same treatment as Queen Elizabeth. 😏😏😏

4 something that'll be buried in the ground i don't think beauty is necessary.

I wonder if the dead cares in what apparatus they rot in.
Why so much fuss about the dead??
