A village announcement is made about his death. A cannon explodes many times to signify the information about the death. First the clan Umuofia is named, then Iguedo the village, then finally Ezeudu, the man.
A great funeral is held with all of the clan attending. Ancient drums, guns and cannons marked the ceremony. Men dashed about in frenzies, clothing themselves in raffia skirts and painting themselves with chalk and charcoal. Egwugwu appear, completely covered in raffia, doing various spirit things. Some are violent. Men danced funeral dances. People make speeches honouring Ezeudu, and salute him.
Ezeudu is buried after dark, a right as a titled man.
