In a burial that has left many Kenyans stunned, Julius Mbogo, a respected family man from Gatundu, was laid to rest in less than 15 minutes.
The swift ceremony, which saw his coffin move directly from the morgue to the grave, has sparked widespread curiosity and debate on social media.
According to sources close to the family, the decision to conduct a hurried burial was influenced by deeply personal and sensitive reasons, which the family chose to keep private.
Relatives requested privacy, emphasizing that the unusual speed of the ceremony did not diminish the love and respect they held for Mbogo.
Eyewitnesses at the burial site described a solemn but brief gathering. Close family members and friends were present to pay their respects, while some mourners expressed shock at the unusually short duration.
Despite the brief proceedings, heartfelt prayers and final words were offered, ensuring that the deceased received a dignified farewell.
The burial has ignited discussions among Kenyans online, with many questioning the reasons behind such a rapid farewell.
Experts in funeral customs explain that while traditional and modern burials in Kenya often last several hours or even days, there are instances—often due to health regulations, personal beliefs, or family wishes—where ceremonies may be conducted quickly.
Social media users have been particularly intrigued by the video footage of the burial, which shows Mbogo’s coffin being lowered into the grave almost immediately after leaving the morgue. The video has circulated widely, prompting both sympathy and curiosity.
Mbogo’s family has thanked well-wishers for their support during this difficult time and appealed for respect and understanding.
