Cremation is a method of final disposition of a dead body through burning. Cremation may serve as a funeral or post-funeral rite and as an alternative to burial.
The 59-year-old entertainer said this during a performance at the New Afrika Shrine on Sunday.He said: “When I die, please cremate me, burn my body. It’s the most hygienic way.”
“Have you thought about Ikoyi cemetery? This Lagos has been in existence for let’s just say 60 years and people die; if they don’t die today, they die tomorrow and that burial ground has never been full.
“And if you check it, it’s not like it’s one million acres since I was little when we used to bury people there,” Kuti said.
