That makes sense.  It's just like a British funeral.  The people they got the notion from.

I agree. Further more Merus lack the attachment and emotions that i see other kabilas have, to be honest compared to other kabilas meru dont fear death to them the most important thing is for you to be buried 6 feet under and a prayer be said, have seen funerals just carried out by one man as in burying his dead father alone and people/villagers just viewing from the fence, when my shosh died my dad dint show an inch of emotion, i remember one time my uncle died and we went to the mortuary to dress him and the shoes uncle had could not fit in the coffin properly my dad exclaimed wow am lucky i have a new pair of shoes, so he took the shoes from dead uncle in the mortuary and today he still wears those shoes with a smile, again in meru when one dies their is no hullabaloo the question that will only be asked is who killed or what killed him

Interesting.  I am imaging witchcraft was also not a thing then.  Or was it?   In some tribes, how you dispose off a corpse can mean the difference between going mad and staying sane.  Witchcraft seems to be an outgrowth of that.

Traditionally in Meru culture if you died simply you did be thrown in the forest period nothing else, when mzungu came and gave burials a meaning things changed, but what dint change is the mental bit mental bit where no much emotion or attachments are shown. Witchcraft and burials in meru are non existence the way in western kenya you take them, actually in meru culture if you knew someone had bewitched you killing them was considered the only way to break that urogi, and once you dead the only thing that matters is for you to be buried 6ft and a prayer be said period.

In 1983 Kikuyu main churches put a reign on a growing tradition then of over spending on funerals and feasts. It was agreed that the mourning period will be 3 days if possible and that the dead will be buried while wrapped in a shroud and in coffin. Flowers were limited to 3 flowers. I remember back then rich people graves would have over 30 flowers lining up or piled on top of each other. Now Kikuyus in the cities are bringing back the feasting nonsense and most entrepreneurs have made a business of catering for these funerals.The budgets are now skyrocketing. My cousin who died while being operated in someone living room to save money funeral was the last straw. I donated money and gave it directly to the widow after the funeral. The budget that was being proposed by his cousins and friends was just a waste of money

talking to my mum the other day she told me the church has again reigned funerals
Now there will be no speeches
Just a 3 hour ceremony from funeral home to Grave
