The question is itself a bit strange in that it assumes funerary rituals of their own culture are "norma" as oppose to "unusual". I would say that all cultures have varying rites, rituals and ceremonies. Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, Catholic, Buddhist, Vodou, Santeria (Lucumi) and many others have culturally relative practices when it comes to funerary customs.
Even within these broad headings there are variations among them including Vodou, Santeria and other African diasporic traditions.
Most religions are composite and borrow from other cultures through diffusion and other forms of interaction over long periods of time. Christianity itself is an amalgam of Roman, Greek, Jewish, Pagan, Egyptian religious practices.
So to answer your question, yes as with all cultures and traditions Vodou, Santeria, Lucumi, Candomble and other African diasporic traditions are unique to the cosmology of African traditions, vary and are highly complex.
