My diary game: 03/04/2021: attending a lecturers dad's burial

Hi great steemians.. Trust we doing great..

Today I bring to us the activities of a lecturers dad's burial at Etinan a local government area in Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria..

Though we slept over at the venue a day before the burial, I'll bring to us the activities of the burial..

The first activity was the carrying of the coffin to the lying in state room.

The undertaker's (coffin carriers) dancing with the coffin to the lying in state room.

Still in the dancing process, as it is the tradition of the place, the female daughters dance in front..

The undertaker's accompanied by drummers..

So after all the dancing the undertaker's later took the coffin to the room were the lying in state was to take place..

Now after the lying in state process, they later moved to the venue of the burial which was some kilometers from the family compound...

Our main duty at the venue of the burial as students was to help with the serving of food which we gladly did...
