CEMETERY BELIEFS OF THE BLACK CULTURE
THERE IS A GENERAL REFUSAL AMONG BLACKS TO ENTER A CEMETERY.
OFTEN RELATIVES OF THE DECEASED WILL NOT EVEN ENTER THE
CEMETERY FOR THE FUNERAL CEREMONIES.
Submitter comment:
THE FIRST THOUGHT THAT CAME TO ME UPON HEARING THIS
BELIEF IS HOW THE BLACKS TAKE A FEAR FELT BY PEOPLE OF ALMOST ALL
ETHNIC BACKGROUNDS, ONE STEP FURTHER. IT WOULD BE INTRIGUING TO
INVESTIGATE WHERE THE ROOTS OF THIS BELIEF LIE.
