“…Nevertheless, the present study has not explored in depth this choice of burial, although some elements in the literature offer possible answers. Indeed, the posthumous transfer of the body of the deceased is seen as extremely costly by immigrants, and it also engenders administrative worries (Mazzucato et al, 2006; Petit, 2005). At the same time, immigrants refuse the choice of cremation, which they consider incompatible with the principles of ancestralization.…”

“…Second, the study aims to assess the effect of ritual support on CG reactions and the outcome of bereavement. This second aim seems particularly relevant, as we have just noted the need or tendency of immigrants from collectivist-oriented culture to engage in rituals to help alleviate their grief (Hinton, Peou, Joshi, Nickerson, & Simon, 2013; Petit, 2005). We should bear in mind that the question of the psychological benefits of bereavement rituals has been widely debated in the literature.…”

Many researchers have noted that bereavement is a major stress factor associated with the etiopathogeny of psychological disorders among immigrants, but until now, the grief reactions of these ethnic minorities have not been analyzed. This study aims to examine the impact of the migration trajectory (immigration status and duration) as well as the use of ritual support to cope with grief reactions in the context of migration. Fifty-four migrants and 20 refugees (N = 74) in France and Belgium were surveyed regarding their experience of mourning a family member. The results showed that complicated grief is associated with the status and duration of immigration. A majority of refugees reported a deterioration of their social life when the duration of their immigration exceeded 10 years. Feeling guilty, dazed or stunned, loneliness, bitterness, numbness, and emptiness made up the spectrum of severe and persistent guilt reactions. Those who took part in bereavement rituals suffered less from feelings of guilt and despondency. Eldest siblings presented a very high rate of complicated grief. These findings were discussed using a psycho-cultural approach; they demonstrated that in the context of migration, grief reactions develop around the principle of debt, based on the parent–child relationship inextricably associated with a feeling of belonging to the ethnic group and collective memory.

“…They explain their choice for interment in Joal-Fadiouth in terms of an interest in lying in eternal repose near their ancestors buried there, as well as living relatives very settled in the area. In some ways, this dynamic reflects the widely recognised importance to many Africans of eternal repose in the places that they see as home (Smith 2004;Petit 2005;Nyamnjoh 2013;Jua 2005).…”

“…The literature shows that, in many places, funerals are fundamental to this anchoring of identities into territory (Smith 2004;Petit 2005;Nyamnjoh 2013;Jua 2005;Park 1995;Hill 1992). First, burial in one's "place of origin" portrayed as a physical space where multiple generations of one's ancestors were born, lived, and are buried, returns the dead into the protective fold of his or her family and a specific piece of the earth from which he or she hailed.…”

The Grave Preferences of Mourides in Senegal: Migration, Belonging, and Rootedness

Burial in cemeteries created by and on the orders of Cheikh Amadou Bamba, the founder of the Mouride Sufi order in Senegal, is said to guarantee passage to paradise. While many Mourides, understandably, prefer to have their corpses transported for burial in these cemeteries, others opt to be interred elsewhere. Focusing on the commune of Joal-Fadiouth in Senegal, I argue that the choices of Mourides concerning place of burial are influenced by histories of migration in the commune and the processes through which people develop ties to the area. In explaining Mourides’ divergent preferences, the paper sheds light on broader questions of identity and rootedness, evolving conceptions of “place of origin” – as well as illuminating interactions between the religious and non-religious spheres in the lives of many Africans. I draw mainly on ethnographic research in the Thies and Diourbel Regions of Senegal.

“…Selon Petit (2005), les pratiques funéraires du pays d'origine, ellesmêmes susceptibles de se modifier, ne peuvent se transposer identiquement en contexte migratoire du fait des nombreuses contraintes liées au nouveau cadre de vie. Il s'ensuit ce qu'elle nomme des « †bricolages rituels †».…”

L’article développe la spécificité des liens transnationaux qui sont mobilisés à l’occasion de décès chez les familles immigrantes endeuillées au Québec. Nos objectifs sont surtout de susciter des réflexions issues de quelques données de la littérature et de différentes recherches sur le sujet. Pour ce faire, le contenu propose de croiser des éléments de l’immigration, plus spécifiquement la migration transnationale, les rituels et l’importance des liens transnationaux chez les familles endeuillées.This paper explores the specificity of the transnational ties mobilized when immigrant families in Quebec mourn the death of a family member. The primary goal is to spark a debate on the basis of data from the literature and various studies on the subject. To this end, the paper discusses a number of aspects of immigration, including transnational migration, rituals and the significance of transnational ties for grieving families
