A Kenyan Funeral

An hour after the funeral was to start, the last tent and chairs
were set up.  This is where church members and family sat.

The hearse with trailer arrived.  The deceased had lived in
Nairobi and was influential with many people.  There were
many dignitaries there.

The mourners proceed from the funeral tent to their seating
in front of us.  The funeral was held at a school near the
family home.

  

This is the widow and some children.  She was the last of 4
wives.  The others also attended.

During the funeral proceedings, people would walk over to the
casket and pay their last respects.

This is part of the audience.  We were there from 9:30 a.m. till
3 p.m. in the same seats.  Every family member and
politician had something to say and most of it was in Swahili.
The LDS funeral part lasted about 30 minutes at the end.
