This makes one wonder, how is a typical Igbo burial?
The Igbos belong to the Southeastern part of Nigeria. Although each community within the tribe has its peculiar own custom and tradition, some similarities exist.
The Igbos do not see death as a final destination but believe it is a continuity of consciousness. The good people who die join the ancestors who intercede for the members of the community. The evil ones become wandering spirits in evil forests.
