In the recent past, the battle for ancestral land in Kisii and the never-ending squabbles over property succession have hunted bereaved families for a lack of land to bury their loved ones.
The region is dealing with unprecedented land disputes, which have resulted in delayed burial rites, with some bodies being held in morgues for years.
Several succession cases at the Kisii and Nyamira Environment and Land Courts that could have been resolved years ago have taken more than 15 years, with families still stranded along court corridors.
