In Ghana, particularly in Accra, local coffin makers have created a unique tradition of crafting elaborate wooden caskets shaped like objects related to the deceased's life, such as shoes, guitars, and microphones. These custom coffins, known as "fantasy coffins," are designed to reflect the person's work, interests, or passions. The tradition is particularly associated with Ga communities in the area. According to coffin makers, these designs represent a belief that people continue to pursue their interests in the afterlife. A video shows carpenters creating and finishing one of these unusual caskets, which was later taken to a funeral and buried in a grave. The coffins are often chosen by customers who want to celebrate the deceased's life and personality at their funeral.
