Traditional Burial Rites: How C.Y Okonta and His Brethrens Celebrated Their Late Father's Life of Honor & Achievement

COMMENCEMENT OF TRADITIONAL BURIAL CEREMONY

According to Asaba Tradition, traditional burial ceremony commences with ( IKEDO AKWA NA ISI ADA NA DIOPKA) the identification, separation and turbaning or tieing with ribbon the heads of the departed's first Son and Daughter ( Diokpa na Ada), on the evening of the interment of the departed.

The above rite is always performed by the villages's or large family's ADA ISI ( Most times, it performed by the oldest of the family or who the celebrants deem fit to touch their head or who their trust and could exercise greater confidence in).

Same evening, the Ada in company of other umuada from her village will perform the IMA PU AGOGO rite at the village's entry point, this is to ceremonially inform all in the village that her family has officially started their traditional burial rites and thereby inviting all to join her family in the ceremony.
