Description

Heronimus Bani relates a disagreement over where recently deceased Nahor Bani should be buried. Most families want to bury their loved ones in their yard so they can care for the grave. The government has been pushing for everyone to be buried in designated community graveyards (Indonesian T.P.U. = tempat pemakaman umum) "for public health reasons". Culturally in Timor, the nitu 'spirit of the dead' can disturb, disrupt, cause sickness, crop failure, etc. to the living if angry or neglected. Monitoring and taking good care of the grave is one way to show respect and prevent bad things happening to good people.
