Manso Datano bans one-week funeral observation to ease financial burden on families
The Traditional Council of Manso Datano has announced a total ban on the widely practiced one-week funeral observation, in a decisive step aimed at curbing the soaring cost of funerals and easing the financial burden on families.
The council believes abolishing the one-week event will help restore sanity, financial discipline, and dignity to funeral practices.
She cautioned that anyone who violates the ban after the effective date by organizing a one-week observation will be summoned before the traditional authorities to face appropriate customary sanctions.
