In this trying time that such a thing happened. Really sorry about that bro. I hope God gives you the strength to bear such a loss.
...and everyone left and right is looking to milk me for money, alcohol, or food in the name of culture.
I don't understand this culture of a thing. Why would people still have the mind to ask for drinks and meat when they should be consoling someone for the loss of his loved one? This kind of tradition/believe needs to change.
Some people see burials as periods to eat while I don't have issues with this, I think they should firstly consult the family of the dead to see if their finances are good enough. It's a hell hole in Nigeria when it comes to burials. I'm just hoping for the fortitude to get through these moments.

Exactly. And also find a way to support them.
Well over here in the North, it's entirely a different ball game. They don't even need much gathering or thorough preparation to do the burial.
