@Fhemmy, long time.

To be honest with you, i dont do funeral parties. What i believe to be funeral is getting casket and burying in ground. It's not about religion but of personal principle and ideology.

I would rather use the money for such celebrations to touch the lives of less privileges ones in the name of my dead beloved ones, like giving out scholarships to orphans, empowering the poor and the needy ones, visiting orphagnage homes, paying bills of sick one, etc., in his/her name. I personally believe that such acts is more rewarding than all those unnecessary merry-merry.


Anyway, each to his own.

Zero naira.

Just dig a hole in the dead person's house and bury thats all.

Use the money for burial for something good. The dead knows nothing when they are gone.

lol!
I once thought it will be easy as you said. But I did cough out nearly 2million naira to bury my dad. Next three months were very terrible in my life. ...... life of a first son.

I am only concerned and looking for info for my pop and momson, everyone else could take a walk and day after burial, I am gone.... they want properties, no wahala except my sisters want them....
I have seen so much Nija movies and hears so much stories that I won't get myself involved in such.
Will show up respect all, do what I need to do and no one will know when I leave
