Funerals are special events in Ghana. The Ga people, particularly, are known for creating extraordinary fantasy coffins to celebrate funerals. They believe honouring the deceased properly ensures a joyful departure for the spirit and brings blessings to the family left behind.
The design of each coffin symbolizes something significant in the person's life. For example, a coffin shaped like a fish may be used for a fisherman, while one resembling a sewing machine might represent a sewist.
The experience concludes at the nearby Artist Alliance Gallery, which features over three floors of art, sculpture, carvings, and various artefacts, including museum-quality coffins on display.
