I have no idea if he was sick or not. I’ll find that out later. I just got back from the FIRST funeral; they’ll probably bury him in a few minutes. I’m skipping that. Then, tonight, there will probably be another service and in three days there will probably be a THIRD service, not counting the gravesite service.
He is a Christian. However, he left one wife here, two in an interior village, and two young boys. (Pak Yunus Pak = Mister) Yup, I just glanced out my window and the procession is forming in the road.
There are no such things as funeral homes here. You are buried from your home. Also, many, many times, no time is wasted between death and burial. It is just too hot and bodies stink. I’ve kept my dog inside most of the day. He would bark at the mourners. I’ve also arranged for my boys to go with hubby back to the school so they can play, and not be crass, and stay away from the obsequies. These boys can be a bit irreverent.
I was wondering why the funeral is so fast.
