In the Zulu culture, death is another stage of life. It when the ancestors choose for a person to join them. If a death is expected, such as an elderly person with waning health, there will sometimes be a party. A cow will be slaughter, a cake will be made, gifts will be given. It is seen as a celebration of their transition.
Like many cultures, a Zulu death is an event that draws family, extended family, and friends together. An animal, often a goat, is slaughtered to tell the ancestors that the newly deceased is coming to join them. The person cannot be buried in the graveyard (very traditionally on their own homestead) until the ancestors are notified. The ancestors help the family stay strong during their grieving so they will follow all the procedures. During the burial, there is singing. After the person is buried, the dung of the slaughtered animal is used to cleanse the hands of the people there. There is a hand washing ceremony, and then the meat and some beer are eaten together with the family and close community.
