Keywords:
Abstract
Burial sites come into existence only after death Death is therefore a unique phenomenon which we either appreciate or denigrate The death of an individual may bring sorrow to some great relief and joy to others and often captured or marked by a burial site It is the inevitability of death and the African understanding that the dead are not dead and gone that informs this exercise This paper attempts to examine the meaning of death the beauty of death types of burial sites and the place or importance of the dead in the life of the living It then concludes with the view that History is incomplete without the history of the dead dotted round our society
