GHANAIAN FUNERAL
Jenny is a 21 year old family friend from America and studying civil engineering.
She has taken one year off to render voluntary community service for a non- governmental organisation in Ghana. She is interested in Ghanaian culture and would like to do some research on funerals.
She visited us in Kumasi and wanted to take photographs of some unique culture scenes to send back to her family. She could not miss because the earsplitting music.She sat down on a plastic chair under a canopy where there a lot of women.
Whilst everybody was dressed in black cloth, she wore faded jeans and a white T- shirt. On top of that she had white skin. People with hairstyles that were covered with headkechiefs and a design of the kaba to give some air of a fashion parade. To her the whole atmosphere smelled of a carnival rather than a funeral.
Soon it was time for donations. People are obliged to donate money to help with funeral expenses. She was led to a beautiful house quite close to the funeral ground where she was served rice and minerals (Coke). Years ago, posters captioned ''obituary or home call irrespective of status or cause of death.
What is the proportion of funeral expenses to the medical bill of the deceased?
Generally, funeral expenses outweigh medical bills.
Finally, we have the answers to the issue. Funerals are far too expensive in Ghana and usually require organizing a large party for guests!!
If you have ever attended a funeral where the deceased had two or more children working overseas, you would know what opulence is.

This might not have anything to do with the topic but i'm just looking for a way to be heard. Looking at the recent spate of crimes in the country especially Accra I think its time to Bring in the military to help the police get rid of the criminals and heartless murderers on our streets today. KIDNAPINGS!!!!!! in ACCRA. almost unbelievable. PLEASE!!!! The military are probably better equipped and have the manpower and logistics to assist in the fight against crime. What are we waiting for??????????
