Abstract
It is an understatement to assert that
cemeteries are not only poorly managed but as well in deplorable condition in
Africa in general and Nigeria in particular contrary to what is obtainable in
the developed world like UK, US and Australia among others, where cemeteries
are not only well managed but as well serve as veritable source of investment.
The purpose of this paper in line with the above is to propose framework of 4Ps
(people, private organizations, public, partnership) derived from the stakeholder’s
theory for efficient management of cemeteries in Nigeria. The methodology
adopted in achieving the goal of this research is basically content analysis
through the review of relevant literature, descriptive analysis and case
studies. The findings showed that cemeteries in Nigeria are poorly managed and
are in deplorable state. Global best practices of cemetery administration
appraised revealed that Nigeria is left with much to be desired in this regard.
Hence, in order to rescue the current deplorable situation in Nigeria, a
framework based on creating a synergy among the stakeholders involved in the
administration of both public and private cemeteries is proposed. This
framework if tenaciously implemented is expected to rejuvenate cemetery management
in Nigeria thereby revealing the residual benefits which include environmental
sustainability and investment opportunity.
