Yes, we did this with my brothers passing. Guests came, slept on the floor, reflected, brought food. I think it lasted 30-40 days for my parents. It was hard trying to explain this to my boss but surprisingly he let me get PTO as many days as I needed.

Interestingly enough 'matanga' is also the swahili word for mourning period that we use

In Congolese culture, grandchildren hold a special, playful bond with their grandparents and it shows even during final goodbyes! Before the casket leaves for the cemetery, the grandchildren have the cultural right to physically block it (kukanga cercueil). To let the procession pass, the deceased's children must pay a symbolic "fine" or fee in cash or drinks to the grandkids. It’s a powerful, heartwarming ritual that honors their deep connection, claims the family lineage, and brings a moment of warmth to ease the heavy grief before the final burial. 🇨🇩✨

Hi. Your customs and traditions are similar to what we do in South Africa however like you said, it varies between cultures but largely similar if not the same.
