How to handle disputes during a funeral
During the funeral, conflicts over who has the right to bury the deceased, what traditions and procedures should be followed, and where the deceased should be buried are common, as well as inheritance issues.
Reports from KMK Advocates indicate that some disputes are intense when one person rushes to obtain a funeral permit, a death certificate, or a removal of the body without involving other family members.
Such people mistakenly believe that engaging in funeral preparations gives them the right to own the deceased’s property.
By citing the decision of the Court of Appeal in January 2024 in which the widow was given the right to bury her husband because she was the closest person with her, the lawyers described how the court dealt with funeral disputes.
They stated that the courts focus on a close legal relationship between the perpetrators to determine who has the right to bury the deceased.
In addition, the religious traditions and religious beliefs are also widely considered in legal decisions as to who will be buried and how they will be buried.
Coffin Opens at Funeral
Elsewhere, the coffin incorrectly slipped and opened the grave at a funeral in western Kenya.
The coffin was placed on the grave, ready to be lowered, but it slipped and fell into the grave and opened, which surprised the mourners.

“The coffin was left there until Mochari ministers returned and returned the body, and then the funeral continued,” Said one of Tiktok users.
