Funeral practices vary among different ethnic groups and regions of Africa. But how those from Ghana are going about it is definitely disturbing and alarming.
Another video showing one of their insane funeral practices have surfaced online. The body of the deceased who was a tree cutter when he was alive, was made to take the form of a tree cutter at his funeral.
In Ghanaian culture, it is a common practice to expose the deceased during funerals as part of the traditional funeral rites. This practice is deeply rooted in the cultural and religious beliefs of the Ghanaian people and serves several purposes:

- Honoring the Deceased: Exposing the deceased during the funeral allows family members, friends, and community members to pay their respects and honor the deceased one last time. It provides an opportunity for loved ones to say goodbye and express their final sentiments.
- Celebrating Life: Ghanaian funerals are often seen as celebrations of life rather than somber events. By exposing the deceased, mourners can remember the life and accomplishments of the departed individual, celebrating their legacy and the impact they had on others.
- Fulfilling Cultural and Religious Customs: In many Ghanaian cultures, there are specific rituals and customs associated with death and burial. Exposing the deceased is often part of these traditional funeral rites, which are believed to help guide the soul of the departed to the afterlife and ensure a peaceful transition.
- Providing Closure: For some people, seeing the deceased during the funeral can provide a sense of closure and acceptance of death. It allows mourners to confront the reality of the loss and begin the process of grieving and healing.
