They try not to let the person die in a house or hogan, they believe in bad spirits, chindi, so if a person does die in a house/hogan they will destroy that home. That’s one.. and that probably has a lot to do with the smell of decaying bodies, bloating, putrefaction, etc. It also depends on whether they were Christian or not? So a Christian would be buried in a coffin..but they are usually buried far from the hogan.
They don’t believe in embalming. Funerals are to take place soon after death. They don’t hold onto things like we do, which is not saying that’s bad or good, just different. So most possessions are burned or buried with the deceased.
Only a select few are allowed to prepare the body and then those afterwards undergo a purifying ceremony.
I’m just saying they were smart not to bury their dead in their crop fields!!
I mean our dead are buried in hermetically sealed coffins and encased in concrete. But I don’t think we should use the dead for potting soil. I swear the left comes up with the most disgusting ideas.
