Hello there. From our research, we found that before the use of coffins became prevalent, the Luo people buried their dead directly in the ground. They would dig a shallow grave, and the deceased would be laid to rest in it.

"Wife Inheritance' is a colonial nickname which has a derogative connotation. I am surprised that a Luo in the 21st century would use that colonial term as a translation of the Luo institution of ter or lako.
Interesting piece💯
Amazing!!
Good work 👌👌
Well researched.. On point
Shukran

This is good 👍
It used to be more ceremonious when kelo ywak was done physically. It used to make the message weighty
Discuss how the Luo used to do a funeral before the mortuaries and coffins. Were they buried the same day?

The burial was formerly done on the day following the death.
