- Ghanaian funeral is one of the most interesting things I've ever seen. Ghanaians believe they should celebrate the person's life instead of mourning and to remember the life of the deceased rather than focusing on the person's absence. Customized cloth, variety of dishes and good music is all you need to pay respect to the deceased.

I love the idea that people will take pride on dressing well and enjoy the pleasures of life while saying goodbye to your last journey on this earth. Is a time to think not to waist time because there is a limited time with your family and friends. ♥️🇧🇷
Love our Ghana people, we so welcoming people,, lol, the ladies cracked me ribs
Your uncle's father great. Doing family things. All the best
Beautiful culture Ghana 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭

I really like what you doing. Kudos to u friend 🌹🌷🌼🌻🌸❤️
Thank you so much 😊
Interesting!
You dare not die in Ghana, because it's party time with dancing and coming together and have some delicious meal (yes, a little bit of mourning time too). I love my Ghanaian people they are just different 😅
It's too expensive to die here 😀 yet I think it's very interesting that such a sad event can turn out to a nice party with family
@@Anaieta Yeah, that is very true😅
Ha ha ha very true. Ghana funeral has more party in it than mourning?
It is sometimes profitable because atendees are supposed to make monetary contribution to bereaved to offset cost of funeral. It is called insabua which is literally translated as contributions to drinks
Nice
Lollllllllolllllolll not yet done watch it but the one that take out ur mask lollllll u make it with all the rest i see already has i watching it der with thoese i not yet see i had to comment on dat one too lollll
What a beautiful historical house at 3:08 !! Your story-telling and editing skills Anaieta 👌
yes, so beautiful. so sad that these days not so many people prefer these designs for building their houses.
Thanks for your feedback
@@Anaieta it is indeed very sad that people are tearing down or converting our beautiful old homes into boring concrete sheds
Never expected to see Dawu in a CZcams video. Smh. The world is becoming smaller.

@@derrickansah3938 ..... Sorry about that... My family house is not far from the Presbyterian sch... Where the CAC church was
You look pretty in the black clothing 😻😻😻😻👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you 😊😊😊

Oh that's Ashanti tradition (or some other akan group) They use red and black in funerals. When people wear clothes that have more white color in it, that means the deceased person is over 70years old
Very interesting to know
@@Anaieta Yes. There are many things that are coded or done through a formula, if we want to look at the patterns strictly. Example some a name like Nii Kojo Mensah. This means the person (Nii) is title for male in Ga Royal family. Accra is the ancestral land of Ga tribe, "Kojo" is named after the day he was born (Tuesday, "Mensah" is a special name for the third of male children. That means has two older brothers without any sister in-between their birth dates. If it's a third female she should be Mansah. So if you have experience with Ghanaian culture, you can just tell a lot about a person based on full name. So if a Ghanaian birth certificate is fake, any Ghanaian can tell just with the name patterns alone😆. Do you wanna guess anything about name of former U.N. secretary general, Kofi Annan? He passed away, bless his soul
THIS IS WHAT I SEE: In Ghana, PEOPLE DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU UNTIL YOU ARE A CORPSE!! family will NOT give a damn about you WHILE ALIVE & perhaps you need some help! ONCE YOU ARE DEAD, family will go ALL OUT, SPEND SO MUCH money for your funeral!!!!!!!!! #FACT!
Red stands traditionqlly in Ghanaian funerals for the blood lost in a battle, accident, or childbirth death or any type of death where the blood is spilled or as as symbol of the end of ones life. Has nothing to do with royal family or not. The lady was giving wrong explanation.
Thanks for sharing
@@Anaieta as lovely as Ghana is, unfortunately when you ask a simple question someone doesn't know the answer to, they just quickly come up with an explanation as if it is s bad thing to just say, : "Sorry, I don't know the correct answer." See in Ghana strictly speaking we are all from royal families which you can trace by the names and surnames in particular. Thanks for sharing your video.
The red is worn by the family members
Traditionally, red is the color to be worn by the deceased family and close relatives but people are mixing things up these days.
The Ashanti tribe uses red. Do the Gas people use red in funerals?
@@elpresidente699 The answer is Yes, I have seen Ga people wearing red with leafs around their head and neck during funerals. Damba is a Ghanaian traditional dance but not all Ghanaians can dance to it.
@@oseitututawiah2109 "but people are mixing things up these days" that's what you said and you are correct. I said Dagomba (tribe) not damba the dance.Maybe a Ga person will add to the comments 😂
@@elpresidente699 Ghanaians like yourself have now become Masters of trolling. Too-know has now become a disease in Ghana. I don't have time with your merry-go- round trolls. I am done with you.
Don't put shame to everybody 🤣🤣
😂😂😂
那边治安怎么样
没有像中国一样被人民遵守的
What she's saying is not true anybody can wear red or black to Ghanaian funerals not just royals.
interesting to know
What she literally meant is that, the deceased family wears red cloth. She's technically right but not to say she's entirely wrong.
She is right but she is not good in English so she couldn't explain herself well. She meant to say that she's a member of the deceased family and the deceased is a Royal.
What the woman said very true, red is for people from the royal family, that's very true.
Wrong. It's Ashanti tradition ( or some other akan group) Unless u want to pretend Ashanti tradition is for all Ghanaian tribes. Shame on you!
The ultimate Ghanaian social event, for what may be rather curious reasons. They're the reason for our de facto 4-day work week (many leave work early on Fridays, to travel up country for the weekend funerals). Truth be told, I'm not a great fan of the Ghanaian funeral.
I think we have to accept the fact now that our funerals have become a "celebratory" get together event. People may never wish you well/ celebrate your birthday/ successes, but would make it a point to attend your funeral or "genuinely" mourn your demise. Ghanaians abroad who hardly Co home would at least.ake it a point to be present for a funeral. It is what it is. There's a thriving funeral economy that people are cashing in on.
It is true, but cultural aspect of it is very interesting. I think so much money is being spent but still as Mark said it's more of the get together event. for this funeral for instance, the corpse was not buried for almost a year so that the whole family can travel back and everyone can be present and yet funds are raised. it's very different from funerals in other parts of the world but still interesting...
