I traveled to Ghana, West Africa to attend a funeral for my mother-in-law and witnessed an amazing performance!! Professional dancing pallbearers proudly honored mom's "home-going" with breath-taking body movement, fancy footwork and incredible strength that would make any Ghanaian family proud.
GO GHANA!!

Just because your homie dies, doesn't mean he's done partying.

This says alot about society
Se maaaamo!
West African (from Nigeria) here. This 'celebration of life' only happens if they die old and naturally. Young (and unfortunate) deaths, especially funerals that involve parents burying their offspring are never celebrated like this.
EDIT:
Thanks for all the likes guys. I feel the need to add an important caveat. Not all African ethnic groups practice this (Nigeria alone has over 250 ethnic groups, Ghana has over 100). Also, you won't find this practice among African Muslims, who bury their dead within 24 hours
i never know this.....
And that is right, in all ways.
So rather than celebrate or mourn their passing, they celebrate their long life. That’s pretty neat, sort of what my grandfather told us to do after his burial.
Thank you man for the knowledge.
Thank you
If someone lived his life to the fullest and died happy and fulfilled, then this is how his funeral should be - a celebration of life.
Don't worry, the afterlife awaits...
Exactly, when did spirituality become less than a complete celebration?!
Regardless of how funny this may look, these guys are skilled. This takes great coordination, balance, and strength.

Memes aside, this is actually really cool and fascinating.

Other responses to the initial comment aside, this really does positively reinforce the initial comment.
Is this a tradition from their culture of some sort? I’m genuinely intrigued lol

Can we all have funerals like this, instead of sadness and depression, make it a great time to celebrate the dead, and to appreciate how they lived.
What an amazing way the celebrate the end of someone's life on earth!! Absolutely love it! Great work gents...
Yup
Imagine the person in the coffin waking up and opened the coffin and started dancing 😂😂😂😂😂
Who let the corpse out? *cue song change*
Calvin Yap underrated comment😂
😂😂😂
Stop imagine
Lol the song will change to run song
THE BEST WAY EVER TO SAY BYE TO A LOVED ONE!!... Blessings people!
Memes aside, I love this, and the music absolutely slaps.
This.
That meme is nice. This, the real thing, is beautiful and awensome.
I just can't stop imagining it with the meme music, even when watching it with the original music! 😂😂😂😂😂
This is how life should be celebrated
Yeah
Rest of the world: *Cry during funeral*
Africa: Oppa gangnam style
Hell ye Stalin xD
I heard that in Soviet Russia the dead guy cries at the people in a funeral.
Hahahaha

Such a great custom! Much better to remember their life than to just be sad they are gone.
As a UK based funeral director who serves many Ghanaian families I would love to see these guys first hand
Whose here in 2020 for the meme and corona virus
meee
Mee hahaga

Haha
When I die, I would want to see people I care to be positive instead of crying and being sad again in a funeral

@@prabytqpking4621 thanks mate
You probable wouldn’t want people being happy at your death. That’s not a good thing at all.
@@jynflyn1679 well I want them to be able to at least have some relief at the funeral.
Tony_yeung yeah if it’s with your consent so it’s ok for them to feel upbeat.it’s not like they’re mocking your passing
I'd pay millions for them to come and host my funeral xD
Thanks to all the doctors in the world.

I think this is a great way to give our last respect to the dead, with happiness instead of sadness and also a great way to cope with sadness for someone close
This feels incomplete without that song

There are millions of video with that song for u.

Hahaha agreed with you Sayuri.

Lol
lmao😂😂😂😂

Lol!! Yes!!! Comment of the year!!
lol wat a funeral
I want a ceremony like this.
Video: "Sweet Mother"
My mind: "Astronomia"
Why would any one dislike this? This routine is a work of art.
Instead of crying, enjoy his/her last moment with party. AMAAZING!
agreed
but that person had their last moment, so your comment doesn’t really make sense
His final moment was before he died. Dumb ass
Nyasar bang?
Ngapain bang wkwk
Ich finde es wunderschön das dem Verstorbenen so geehrt wird.. einfach toll
My highest respect to this person and their family, this is the best send off in the world anyone could ever receive.......❤
That's a home going celebration, they were filled with joy😃 celebrating that persons life instead of wallowing in sorrow😭 over their death. Very nice.👍👍👍
hi
It should be like this everywhere. Getting out of this insane world should be celebrated.
Película letal de rojo
Yeah
Mindy Slas evebody gangsta till ur funeral ends up like this
Oof
The problem with death is that people who loves you will miss u thats why we don't celebrate during funerals because we can't accept losing our loved ones forever
The guy in the coffin: hey can I request a different song?
😂😂
Maybe you want "I m still alive"
Thats her mom not a guy
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣watching from 🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for bringing this to world's attention.😊
Welcome to Ghana where it is fun even during funerals. No dull moment in Ghana😂
Makes me proud to be a Ghanaian
This feels more natural than crying and mourning !
I am a Dutchman and I also want this on my funeral niche. what a respectful last one.
I wish my funeral to be like this, without tears, without pain, without sorrow, just peace and happiness. That the good lord is waiting up for me. This should circulate the entire nation if possible 😇.
Other continent : *Cries when Funeral*
Africa : *Party Funerals exists*
But they carrying USA flag 👀
I wanna Know why so?is this something happy for them?
@@antara_b no it's to celebrate the good life the person lived. It also brings family together which is nice because you can see family members who don't like each other come together and celebrate the life the person lived. I love my culture. Of course we cry, but then it turns to a party.
@@Organ_saviour because the person probably lived in the United States.
@@episodevirgo4988 thanks for telling
I'll be lucky if ⅒ of this many people come to my funeral..this person seemed like they were loved. Good for them.
*Knock knock*
Me : "Come in"
Ghanian Pallbearers : *"allow us to introduce ourselves"*
if only my funeral will be so glorious and filled with joy, they'll weep afterwards but at a rare time where everyone in the family is finally coming together it can be a jovial occasion
This must be the most beautiful way to say goodbye to a loved one. I would love to see this catch on in other parts of the world!
Not a painful exit but celebration of life
4:16 the funniest part 😂😂😂😂😂
Finally found the original video, now I can die in peace.

Beautiful tradition. I can see the roots and the ancestors of Africa in Second Line in the New Orleans, so clearly in this Ghanaian funeral. We(Afro-Creoles) in the States, really do get it from our momma Africa.
Well said. Yes ma'm we do and it's a celebration indeed. bc I stay in a 2nd line baby!
proud to have the influence of this culture in Louisiana!
Tradition never dies.
Whodini Jonas
I'm Ghanaian, and far from this being a 'tradition', it's something that has been imported from other cultues in recent years, rather like the practice of posing dead bodies at wakes. Wearing white at a funeral usually signifies the 'celebration' part of the funeral. White is worn when the deceased is either very young or very old. The whole dancing pall bearers thing, is pretty commercial. The family pays for them to dance, and the more you're prepared to pay, the more elaborate the dancing. I know loads of people seem to love it, but personally I find it undignified, and don't like it at all. But hey ho; different strokes eh?
the person inside was probably on their belly after all that casket movement
lmao!!!!!!!
Hahaha dwl
Yebo
Fabulous!! Celebrate and dance 💃
We need this to be an international culture

Almost every occassion calls for Dance in Ghana....Ghanaians dance when a baby is born....Ghanains will also dance when one dies.
The first guy isn't holding the coffin. Best role ever. 😆
Yeah!!! Finally got the actual video...
I like the concept of a happy funeral. At least this makes sense for those of us who are sincere Christians. If a person whose body has expired was a believer in Jesus Christ it's supposed to be a sad but happy occasion since they are in the embrace of God and they are experiencing perfection so to speak.
Is this mourning. Jesus wept when Lazarus his friend died. Did it mean that Lazarus was a sinner that"s why Jesus wept? NO Death is an enemy of God. And he will swallow it up forever. Rev. 21 vrs 4
Vida Appiah Jesus wept because Lazarus' sister's disbelief. She said she believed but she was crying because she trully didn't believe deep down, or else she wouldn't of been crying. The same way Peter started to drown when he tried to walk on water. Jesus's reply was " Why did you doubt?"
Jesus ' saw her tears and his spirit was troubled. THAT is why he cried.
Death isn't God's enemy. It's his creation; to free you from attachment to the body.
StopFeardavid
dab0331 So you are saying that God is a liar Because the Bible Says Explicitly that God Cannot Lie and God in His Own Sacred Word the Bible states that death is his enemy Not his Chief enemy Because God's Chief enemy is the one with means to cause death so that make death the One True God's Enemy and what an Enemy the irony of it though is that God's Chief Enemy is also a God and so naturally he welcomes comments like yours.
Let me ask you an illustrative question if a weapon is in the hand of your enemy wouldn't it make that weapon your enemy keep in mind that contrary to people that may or may Not like a weapon the ONE TRUE GOD HATES any weapons and violence and death my friend is nothing but a Devastating violent WEAPON.
Check out what the ONE TRUE GOD says about death and its Root cause - Ps 11:4, 5-7; Pro 6:16-17; 1Co 15:26; Tit 1:2; Heb 2:14.
Well what is the point in dancing with a coffin full of dust contrary to what majority of people believe and think to be true that when a person dies that he or she goes to heaven is simply a complex Lie of GOD's Chief Enemy Because death came into the Equation after Adam Rebelled and Reject GOD's Commandment as such Sinned so than he chose Rebelliousness and death, so if or when any of us die we simply return the dust of the Ground Because death is Not a Reward Rather a Punishment that Adam brought upon himself and because Adam and Eve only had children after their Despicable Decisions and Actions there by death spread to all men - Ge 2:16-17; 3:19: Ro 5:12, 15-17, 18-21; 6:23.
However, Because GOD so Loved the World he Sent forth His only Begotten Beloved Glorious Mighty Living Holy Son Jesus Christ Who Gave his Precious, Priceless and Perfect Sacred Life in Benefit or to Redeem all mankind of SIN and Death. - John 3:16-17; 1Jo 4:14.
My sincere appeal to you is that for you to Do Contrary to Adam to Make a Firm Decision to Choose Life Rather than the Lie that spread like Gangrene but it's weak - John 8:32; Re 22:17.

A moment of silence to they that haven't seen this original scene from the memes yet.
Amazing I’ve seen something similar my dad is Nigerian my auntie passed away ,they had a glass top covering her coffin so you could see her they was carrying her around the village it was the first time I’d ever seen something like that I have to confess I kept holding my breath thinking they are going to drop her luckily nothing went wrong
Level of ingenuity is unmatched!!!
2015: haha nice
2020: MEME
😂
Get it!! Now this is a celebration. The soul lives on forever
All memes aside, this is a pretty nice way to say goodbye to a loved one.
as soon as i heard the sweet mother music, i knew a mother died, Sorry for your loss.
When you go to a funerary to sign up for a plan and they say: "You're our client number 1000! Are you interested in listening about the bonus?"
Its all fun and games until one of the dancers slip and you have the corpse on the ground
Not if the coffin it locked you wont, and that looks like a very expensive and secure coffin!

RetroGuy76 They're many forms of Christianity. Are you dumb??
RetroGuy76 You are. They do this all over West Africa. We do this in my country and we are a Christian Nation. I'm Nigerian.
RetroGuy76 I don't know much about denominations, but I *think* Baptist.
My church you go in, pray, praise, read scripture, learn from your mistakes and try not to sin again when you leave. There is a head pastor and other smaller pastors who work for him. They separate the teens church from the main church because old people are boring.
