What is custom when maori die?
We have a funeral like everyone else. The body is taken to the morgue and normally back to the family home first or straight onto a Marae (meeting house). Before the body enters the family home or Marae a karanga (call) is done to welcome the body into the house. All whanau (family members), immediate and extended gather over a minimum of 3 days to remember and mourn for their beloved. Stories are told in rememberance of the person as well as Karakia prayers. You would normally have a Kaumatua (elder) who is kind of like an Emcee. Sometimes there are more than one. Everyone who is a visitor to a marae must be welcomed on (they are called Manuhiri (visitors), the Tangata Whenua (people of the land) will Karanga (call, kind of like a chant) them in. The chant is to invite not only the living but also their ancestors. Once in the Marae the manuhiri pay their respects to the person who has passed and the imediate family. They then go around and hongi (press noses males) and kiss the woman. On most maraes only the men are allowed to talk. The Kaumatua or priest talks and then their is a song. This goes back and forth with the manuhiri. Once everyone has said their peace you are normally invited for a cup of tea and biscuit or Kai (meal) depending on the time of day. This basically happens of the 3 - 5 day period any hour of the day.
