In Lucumí, the term "yeyeo" refers to a spiritual concept that embodies the essence of femininity, motherhood, and nurturing energy. It is often associated with the Orisha Yemayá, the goddess of the sea and protector of women and children. Yeyeo symbolizes the wisdom, strength, and protective qualities inherent in feminine forces within the spiritual practices of the Yoruba tradition.
"Omi yeyeo" in Yoruba means "bathing water" or "water for bathing." It refers to water that is used for cleaning the body during bathing.
Santeria, or the more appropriate name, Lucumi, can be found all over the world although Lucumi ( with the system used now in cuba and through out the U.S) originated in Cuba. In Latin America, Lucumi has a large following in Venezuela and i think in Mexico. Anywhere theres Cubans or PuertoRicans, there's probably Lucumi.

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.
BABALAWO (also known as BABALAO or AWO) is a demigod, basically a holy priest or priestess. The other name is IFAJANA. Frequently this demigod is considered in a tribe as a male demigod, and in an other triba as a female. In both capacity, Babalawo is serving the ORISHA or ORUNMILA of the Yoruba people in Africa. Babalawo/Babalao is honored by the ANAGO people, the INDIGENE people, the LUCUMI people and appear in the religion of SANTERIA. DR. B.Vajay
