Ghanaian Funeral
October 1, 2005
Funeral attire consists of everyone wearing black or dark red. The family of the deceased wears plain black with no design, and continues to wear that for 30 days following.
During the service the pastor preaches and tells the history of the deceased.
After the service is done, the casket is transported from the home into the ambulance, where family ride along to the cemetery. Not everyone accompanies the family to the cemetery, in fact it is basically just family.
