When death happens, people gather to comfort the family, remember the person, and help with practical needs.
Family members, clan leaders, neighbours, and friends are informed so support can begin.
People visit, sit with the bereaved, pray, share memories, and help with errands.
The family works with elders, faith leaders, and community members to prepare respectfully.
Support should continue after the crowd has gone, because grief does not end in one day.
This page gives general guidance only. Each family, clan, and faith community may have its own way of handling death and burial.
