Nigerian afrobeat artist, Femi Kuti, has actually stated he would love to be cremated when he dies. Cremation is the process of minimizing a dead body to mainly tiny bits of bone looking like ash that includes exposing the body to flame and intense heat followed by pulverization of bone pieces.

The 59-year-old entertainer stated this throughout an efficiency at the New Afrika Shrine on Sunday.

Kuti said he desires the funeral gone to by close friends and family members without a loud burial event.

He stated: “When I die, please cremate me, burn my body. It’s the most sanitary method.”

Femi wondered what occurs to remains at cemeteries, adding that the cemeteries in Lagos are not filled.

“Have you thought of Ikoyi cemetery? This Lagos has actually remained in presence for let’s just say 60 people and years pass away; if they don’t pass away today, they pass away tomorrow and that burial ground has never been full.

“And if you check it, it’s not like it’s one million acres since I was little when we used to bury people there,” Kuti said.
