There’s no big deal about this story.

There is an alternative to request her remains to be sent over to Nigeria if they won’t grant a visa.

After all it is not a must that she should be buried in America.


Who will pay for the transportation

When my uncle died. D total calculation is about #5million. So it's not easy to send remains to Nigeria. Even to bury d corpse I. US is another big money. The best is to give them d visa

Shipping Human Remains to Nigeria

Services of Funeral Director and Staff=$1,295

Transfer from place of death (within 50 miles)=$400

Embalming=$895

Dressing/Cosmetology/Casketing=$175

20 gauge metal casket with gasket (assorted colors)=$1,398

2 death certificates for Consulate=$25

Overnight mail to and from Nigerian Consulate=$250

Consulate=$30

Service van to airport=$175

Shipping Container (required by airline)=$800

Airfare ESTIMATE ONLY=$5,000

TOTAL $10,443 (N3.8 million). And we're yet to talk about the burial proper in Nigeria since we are big on frivolities, as a nation, of course.

bringing human remains is crazily stressful and fvcking expensive, the paper work na die... immigrations from there and here will stress u...

1. U must obtain a Waiver for Repatriation of Corpse from the Federal Ministry of Health of health service , Abuja only..... u will bribe tire


2. It’s like shipping a dog that a registered vet has to certify... for dead body asides all the shipping cost a registered funeral home will still bill you for a whole lot of Shitss....before authorizing the body for flight

It’s cost around 12thousand dollars.....then they will now get to Nigeria and still place her in a morgure and start burial arrangement....

Compare that to family member of 3 at most that will get visa for 160$ and plane ticket for less than 800dollars each...

how much is round tickets for two family members, feeding , transportations for the running Round , hotel reservations for at least 1month, feeding and others, calculate all these as well and see it's damn too cheap to bury her here , they sud repatriate her body with $10k dollars it's far cheaper than going over their, abeg who dey won leave this county run to We die here together
Trust me, the 10k is somewhat cheap. I chose not to do a quote of some other funeral expenses that would take the money into 15k +, plus no way in hell the family would go abroad and stay a month. It is unwise. They could do motels and not necessarily hotels where they'd get charged hundreds of Dollars per night. If they are burying her abroad, a day and that's it. Americans aren't big on parties like us, so the room to make any noise won't be available. A week and they're done.

The visa option is no doubt cheaper. We spent N5m+ moving a family member who died way back. It was so annoying because he had instructed his wife and kids to return his body home, that he wasn't going to be forgotten in a strange land, a strange land he ran to for decades.

Two things: they just want to go and bury their sister and they're seeking IMMIGRANTS visa?
All they (the religious organisation) can do is PRAY? How about contacting the embassy etc?

The burial apart, I cherish strong policies from a country, and that's what US is, not like one poultry country somewhere where anyone enters and leaves anyhow.

Stop sounding ignorant and bashing Nigeria unnecessarily. Movement is a fundamental right of humans. Heck, even animals move! Where were visas when they pillaged this continent??

If not, let USA go and eat her remains nah....
She lived and died there....let them bury her and do other things necessary....

With the use of Tech.....the siblings can join

When the siblings are not there, the Catholic mission takes up the responsibility. For me, wey no get money to waste on the corpse, I wouldn't bother but for some people, it's a big deal.
Let the Catholic missions do the burial and send the video to us in naija. Naija is doomed in all things.

Unnecessary brouhaha...

The organization can enjoy her services while she was alive but can't take care of her funeral,
what sort of nonsense is that?
Then they should arrange for her to be flown to Nigeria for burial.

She is a nun and that means the church is her family or is that not the whole point of not getting married and having kids?

This looks too much like cheap blackmail and propaganda.



If the church is her family like you said then let the church take care of her dead body , why transport her to her "other family" in Nigeria

You mean like bury from home? I mean like when they say work from home? Something like a remote burial

There is something fishing here, hence the embassy is denying their visa.

The Rev. Sister was a nun and have colleagues, they can write and give the power of attorney to anyone over in US to act on their behalf.

It is not true that they must be in US for the burial to take place. Even in Nigeria where there are strong cultural and traditional practices and precedents, there are no rules cut in stone like this. Someone else can stand for a required attendee who could not make it in burial, marriages, etc in Nigeria talkless of the US where there are no traditions....

In Nigeria self, dem don do correct burial ceremony for empty coffee if the body could not be located or could not be brought home. The siblings want to use this opportunity to jappa, no one is going anywhere, we all voted for this change and next level, let’s all suffer it together.

This family really needs to go not just for the funeral but also take custody of everything the late sister had.
If they send her corpse, then how will the family take possession of her properties?
Grant them Visa already.

You are talking as if the US embassy cares which of the two options is cheaper for the family.

If you even dare to do this cost analysis for them, they would prefer you bring the body home; one because you have told them that, there an alternative option that will require no visa; two the bulk of the money you will spend to bring the body home will be to US tax payers, which will help their economy.
