In African tradition we believe in reincarnation and we have seen it happen many times.

Regardless of what science claims, we still see newborns bearing birthmarks from a previous life and some children even recall where they once lived and who they were before death.

Deceased relatives are buried within the family compound so they may return and be reborn into the same bloodline — that's only if they had lived an honorable life. Those who brought shame, committed crimes or tarnished the family’s name are thrown into the evil forest to prevent them the chance to reincarnate within the family and serve as a lesson for the living.

Almost every households, communities are doing this, it has become not only a habit but culture, for people burying the dead in their households.

There are designated places for burying the dead, like the cemetery, or graveyard.
Some religious bodies or churches have burial grounds in their surroundings specifically for burying the dead.

I just came back from my uncle's burial.
Before he died, he told his Children that they should hurt him in his bedroom and that's where he was buried.

House that he didn't build but he inherited, leaving his brother with nothing, even with some space left at the back of the house.

Even in death he was still very greedy.
Very Greedy man.
Thank God for my Dad that has built his own house

StoryHaven:

I won't allow my parents to be buried far away from where we can see them regularly. Some parents are gods.
Some religion people will tell you it's wrong to burry at home but their parents is not buried at the cemetery including their prophets.

RillJ:
Its cultural in some places where men are buried inside the house (not just compound). It is considered disrespect for a successful man to be buried outside his house.
In some other, the cost of burial site may not be affordable.
