City Mortuary used to terrify people.
Even outside its walls, you were hit with an unbearable stench as far as Valley Road.
Stories are told of people living nearby fleeing to other locations in the city.
But it wasn't just the bad smell. The mortuary didn't have basic things like enough water, making it a real nightmare for grieving families going to collect the bodies of their loved ones.
The whole place was dirty, a stomach-churning picture of neglect and decay.
Today, a visit to Nairobi Funeral Home is a totally different experience. Tarmacked pavements, manicured lawns and freshly painted walls welcome you to the facility.
