This is really big news here. Apparently the coffin will be paddled up the river by waka, then taken up to a hilltop burial ground. I've been to a few different ceremonial events (including a funeral) and they're always pretty moving with lots of amazing and very emotional singing. These guys really know how to send off a loved one.
