The Netherlands is a country about the size of Garissa county in Kenya with a population of 17 million people. Space is premium and in some places graves are rented and can be reused after a 10 to 20 year lease and the remains are cleared after the time expires.
The nation is sick and people are so afraid of falling ill, they would rather die, because when symptoms persist, Kenyans start planning for a funeral.
We seem to have totally forgotten that funerals are for the living. All I see now is ceremonial pomp and politics over a corpse and hardly any grief or empathy for the bereaved.
