The bill, which was sponsored by the member representing Anaocha 11 constituency, Chief Charles Ezeani, provides that “in the event of death, no person shall deposit any corpse in the mortuary or any place beyond two months from the date of death, while burial ceremonies shall be for one day only.”
He described the bill as a welcome development and a great achievement by the sixth Anambra House of Assembly, adding that the bill had put to rest the high cost of burial/funeral activities in the state. According to him, if it remained unchecked, expensive burials would lead people into pitiable situations and bondage.
