Abstract
Death is the center of many traditions and organizations, and is a feature of every culture around the world. Much of this revolves around the care of the dead, the disposal of body on the onset of death as well as the perceptions on the afterlife. The disposal of human corpses does, in general, take place before significant time has passed, and ritualistic ceremonies often occur at that precise moment. This is not a unified practice, however, as in Nawdeba land most of the rituals and ceremonies do take place after the interment
