Nguburin
Nguburin is a traditional practice among the Igbo people of Nigeria, primarily associated with the burial of the dead. It involves specific rituals and ceremonies that honor the deceased, reflecting the community's beliefs about life, death, and the afterlife. The process often includes the preparation of the body, the selection of a burial site, and various cultural rites performed by family members and community leaders.
