Please tell me about death and buriel traditions in Colombia. What happens if someone doesn't have family- such as those widowed with no immediate family of their own, only their deceased spouses family. I think I saw "preplanning" at the entrances to some of the churches downtown Cali. What happens when the families are poor and they still need to bury someone? etc.

tayronadreamer says on Jan 24, 2005, 08:23: some burial traditions in colombia It´s pretty interesting to see of differents things of views about burials in colombia for instance wayuu indigenous people -north of Colombia, Guajira- make parties when their relatives or friends passed away. All their lives they live quite poor but when they die spent a lot of money inviting to other poeple and kill animals and drink chirrinche almost for one week.
