Funerals in Detty December: The soaring cost of saying goodbye in peak season

The sound of drums and joyful songs echoed through a quiet village in Anambra State, as mourners gathered to pay their final respects

The article from BusinessDay discusses the escalating costs associated with funerals during "Detty December," a peak season for social events in Nigeria. It highlights how the demand for funeral services spikes during this period, leading to a significant increase in expenses for everything from caskets to catering.
