How was the coffin Kiambu man?

The most shocking part, however, was the coffin that they put their departed relative and former friend in.

It was a makeshift affair with rough pieces of wood put together, and at first glance, one would not think that it was a coffin for a beloved family member.

When they arrived with the coffin, there was no machine to gently pull the coffin down to the ground or ropes like in cases where families don't have much money.

The coffin was dropped into the grave unceremoniously and one would expect it to burst open but luckily it didn't.

They started throwing in soil very quickly, like a chore they were tired of and wanted it over and done with in the shortest time possible.

The crowd behind stood by listlessly, like they were just there because they were curious and not because they care about the dead person
