You Won't Believe What This Family Used As A Coffin For Their Mother's Funeral In Ghana

The burial of a deceased family member in Ghana has garnered attention online, as the family reportedly buried their loved one with a large cooking pot.

While people choose various ways to honor their departed loved ones, the use of a pot, which is typically used for cooking, to bury the deceased is an uncommon practice.

According to reports, the deceased was a food vendor who was well-known in her community for her delicious food, which may have influenced the family's decision to use a pot as a coffin.

The video of the burial ceremony shows a large gathering of people, with undertakers carrying the pot and dancing as they make their way around. The footage has elicited mixed reactions from viewers, with some expressing admiration for the unique way of honoring someone who was skilled at cooking.

Others, however, have questioned the appropriateness of using a pot as a coffin, particularly regarding how the body was fitted into such a round-shaped container.
