everywhere na person village, everybody come from village no deceive ursef of city boy talk

CaptainArc:
Seeing how Muslims and Western cultures embrace cemeteries, I feel like every other culture and religion should do the same. If not a public cemetery, then at least a private family or kindred burial ground.Right now, many families bury their dead indiscriminately on their property. Then, 30 years later when the kids make some money and decide to build modern houses, they end up excavating skeletal remains.I actually saw a situation where a man was buried right in the middle of a family compound. A few years later, when the land was being shared among his sons, the boundary line went straight through the grave. The man’s headstone was on one son's plot, and his lower body was on the other's!In a case like that, what do you even do? Excavate the remains and relocate them? Relocate them where, and to whose side of the land? Setting up proper cemeteries is honestly the best way forward.

dollytino4real:
yes o, for a good old age sickness free and no debtedness for my children, my papa compound direct

KIDfurniture:
Papa compound ke ! U will be buried in ur husbands house Alaye !
Me i don tell my children already so they know, but with love u can still tell dem where to bury u, but our tradition n culture don't agree to it, na war be dat o

zinowealth:
Muslims ideology in that regard may seem right. Jesus died and was buried same day as well I might be wrong though

EmekaBlue:
As a woman suppose be ur husband compound.

For me I dey ascend to heaven flesh & blood. Rapture day

ajalawole:
go to osun where I'm from. Muslim even burry at home then the Christian.. I haven't ask people why they burry at home, but from my finding, some do so to avoid children fighting because of property. My let grandpa and his siblings build the house in our village, some of his siblings are Muslim.. just recently, one of my uncle, my late dad younger brother wants to build a church on the land in our compound, this said land, my grandpa siblings children who were Muslim were also using same land to dry palm nuts... It cuz alot of fight but elders in the family were able to settle it. If not people were buried there, they would have sold that land. So most are buried at home to avoid family problems.

Samantha125:
But this thread is from the culture section and not Islam section.

BalogunIdowu:
I have just made enlightenment regardless of wheat section.

Unsee it if it's not beneficial...

Samantha125:
Well, that was not necessary because last time I checked, none Muslims were heavily restricted from commenting anyhow on the Islam section.

I don't know about that, except the are filled with bigotry comments if not they shouldn't.

Once again, that is an elightenment comment.

NOETHNICITY:
It is man made tradition of foolishness.
A colleague died recently, and veryone of us had to contribute money to transport his corpse to Maiduguri.

As a Muslim, we bury our dead wherever death meets us.

As a married woman no family will accept the body of their daughter to be buried in her paternal home. That is why we strong recommend every woman live peacefully with husband.

Only the body of the sons must return to father’s home. I have not see any father receive a married daughter’s body to rest in his compound . Only wives —-

Richardomatic:
This is why I'm never at peace with my dad up till now from the time my mother died when I was too young to fight for anything.

zenburster:

KIDfurniture:
What happened my brother ?

Did your dad deny ur mother’s body?

I’m sorry for ur loss

Richardomatic:
Thanks bro. We took her to her town, hoping her family will help save her from an attack. So, while on our way to her town from Lagos, she died. At that point, as expected of anyone, my dad should have ordered the driver to turn and head back to Lagos, from Ibadan since we've not gotten to her town which was still far from Ibadan, but he didn't do that.

Taking her corpse to her parents nearly cost him his own life, too, as they were angry for seeing their daughter being returned dead when she was given alive. I didn't even realize the fact that she was supposed to be buried in my dad's house at that young age, but as I got matured the act bittered me. That it is improper for husband to take his wife's corpse to her father's house. The best would have been to call the parent for them to come see the corpse in his house and make arrangement to bury her in his own house, after all, he wasn't living in a rented apartment.

Eba50:

Well, neither:
My son
My self
My father ( ~1938
My Grand father ( ~ 1895 or so)
... was born in any village. We were all born in towns/cities.
4 generations.
The person who actually was born in a village was my great grandfather in 1800's.
His own father was not born in that village either.
