The expat community in Granada lost one of its most beloved members this last week-end. He died suddenly from injuries sustained in an accident and will be greatly missed by Nicas and expats. Peder was one of the good guys who came years ago and helped rebuild the country.
We know three or four expats that die a year in Nicaragua. We are at the age where we know more people that die than are born.
It is part of life. If you are moving to Nicaragua, you need to give this some thought.
Dying and death in Nicaragua are very different than other parts of the world.
We don't have funeral homes and families handle burial. The legalities are very different. This article is a good one:

We have it on file and sent copies to our families so that they might understand how things are handled in Nicaragua. If you are planning on living in this country you need to give it some thought.
