Re: "Cleansing ceremony" for deceased - who knows more?
It's an interesting conundrum.
Part of me says that I get that the family would want to do something they believe in culturally, to cleanse themselves or to make passage for the dead. I get that.
However, I get the part that the community is outraged because the guy didn't die a honorable death, he was in the process of committing a violent crime.
I sense that most people outside of the family would think its some sort of honour / praise for the deceased that they deem isnt worthty.
The other thread where this popped up in, I agree that after being the victim of their crime, I would not tolerate or allow them anywhere near me, no matter the reason.

Re: "Cleansing ceremony" for deceased - who knows more?
I couldn't care a fig what the family of a deceased person, who died trying to do me or mine in, believe they need to do at the place of his demise to ease his passage into the afterworld. The idea that they can impose themselves on the the victims of their violent criminal relative is so far out of the lane of decent behaviour that to consider complying is inconceivable to me.

Re: "Cleansing ceremony" for deceased - who knows more?
As I said on that thread: The only cleansing I would approve of involves brooms, 5l of Jeye's Fluid and a hosepipe. Anything other than that is unbelievable offensive to the victim/survivor, and their family.
People need to show their disapproval of this kind of crap in a real way.
If the family of the miscreant had any honour at all they would beg forgiveness for what their relative did."Always remember to pillage before you burn"

Re: "Cleansing ceremony" for deceased - who knows more?
A different take in the story.
If you assume that the man's spirit left his body in your driveway and is now stuck there.
You can torment his spirit for the rest of time as punishment for his unjust deeds by never allowing it rest.
On the other hand, you have a spirit with murder on his mind haunting your driveway...

Just curious, when convicted murderers were hanged was this ritual allowed? When the ANC court-martialled and executed members was it also allowed?
live out your imagination , not your history.
