Planning a Funeral Ceremony in Lagos: A Family Checklist

Settle the date, the service location and the burial location before anything else. Almost every other decision follows from those three.

Funeral ambulance support should be confirmed early, particularly where the service and burial are in different parts of Lagos or outside the state.

A brass band gives the procession its rhythm and is a long-standing part of many Lagos ceremonies. Confirm the timing so the band and the cortege move together.

Name one family member as the point of contact for the funeral home. It keeps communication clear and spares the immediate family repeated calls.
