Anglican Communion, Diocese on the Niger has banned the printing of brochure and ceremonial dresses aka `Asoebi’ during burial rites of its members at the diocese to reduce burial cost.
“The decision was that of the church to checkmate burial frivolities of the faithful and reduce the burial challenges of its members,” he said. He advised the faithful who came for outing services after the burial of their beloved ones to be informed of the new diocese laws on burial rites and advised other faithful to abide by the law.
“The church has discovered that many people during the burial of their loved ones encounter lots of challenges in the name of befitting burials. “What is befitting in Christian burial is the relationship established between the people and their God and the worthy legacy after the people are gone,” he said.
