The style of burial in Tuvalu has changed a lot in these 20 years. You can see a more traditional way of burying in my 2005 video from the same Nanumaga Island. →　th-cam.com/video/Qi64BZZKUz4/w-d-xo.html (I put it here for Evi and Lotomalie, and all Nangi's sisters and brothers.

Many come up to kiss the person at the funerals in Tuvalu. Unlike civilized countries, kids also get accustomed to the reality of death in that way. I think it is a wise and profound process to accept the death. (I put it here for Evi and Lotomalie, and all Nangi's sisters and brothers.

In the funerals in Tuvalu, the closest(in this case, his mother) stands up and tells the story of the person, from his birth to the cause of death, things after death to people who gather. It needs such strength of mind, but they think it is essential. (I put it here for Evi and Lotomalie, and all Nangi's sisters and brothers.

Many women and young men gathered in the early morning to prepare food for the funeral on Nanumaga Island. The paster and choir had not arrived yet, but the islanders sang island hymns for this lost young man. (I put it here for Evi and Lotomalie, and all Nangi's sisters and brothers.

The day before the ship on which 26-year-old Nangi's coffin and his family came, we prepared food on Nanumaga Island. (I put it here for Evi and Lotomalie, and all Nangi's sisters and brothers.) @Tuvalu by NATU
