Was the 32-year-old man buried inside the house?
One of the grieving brothers moved forward, took a spade, and poured soil onto the coffin. Next, a young woman broke down in tears as she struggled to hold the spade and throw soil into the grave. She also held a flower wreath, seemingly meant to be placed atop the fully covered grave.
“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. As we conclude, the word of God says, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. Yes, hear the streets that they may rest from their labour, and their works follow them while living.’ Amen,” the pastor’s voice was heard in the background.
All the siblings wore black T-shirts printed with their brother’s face, paired with matching black trousers.
While the family grieved, the video left many viewers amazed and curious about why the man was laid to rest inside a house.
