Family refuses coffin provided by son-in-law for mother-in-law’s burial

According to reports, a family in Tombo Mbatie, in the Buruku local government area of Benue State, turned down a coffin that their son-in-law had brought for the burial of his mother-in-law.

According to a post on Bem Raphael Aondongu’s Facebook page, the family complained that the casket wasn’t visually pleasing enough.

Raphael wrote in a post;

“Sons of a deceased mother rejected and threw away a casket brought by son in-law from Wannue Tarkaa to Tombo Mbatie, Buruku BENUE state.

In the early hours of today, an undisclosed family rejected a casket brought by son in-law for the burial of mother in-law. As the TIV tradition demands, when a mother or a father dies, the first female child who is married is saddled with the responsibility to make provision for a casket for the burial of any of the deceased parents.

And for the maintenance of tradition, the first female child in conjunction with her husband who is a son in-law to the deceased mother, tried as he could to bring this casket in the pictures below but only to be rejected. According to the family of the deceased, they said the casked isn’t beautiful and too poor to bury a member of their family. You can see how they casket is turned upside down.”
