AGNES OBENG'S FUNERAL -CANADA

The Akan Ghanaians believe that in death, everyone has to be buried in their hometown.  For this reason, when Akans and some Ghanaians pass away in foreign lands, if resources are available, they would be ferried to their hometowns for the necessary fitting burial and rites. In so Akan communities, failure to meet this obligation, is looked upon as a dent on the family's reputation. A YOUNG GHANAIAN MURDERED IN USA IS BROUGHT TO GHANA-JUNIOR US REST IN PERFECT PEACE

The social structure of rural communities where every Ghanaian comes from is such that there is a hierarchy in order of leadership. Every family, which are called Clans ( Ebusua)  have elders led by the Ebusuapanin.  A group of Ebusuapanins form the core of elders and advisory counsel to the royal family and their own community ( suburb) where they live. The death of an Ebusuapanin means that a a big tree ( Odupon kese etutu) and  vacancy has occurred. Time has to be allotted for special preparations and other rites to be performed. Like the Ebusuapanins, the Chief/Queenmother depending on the level of authority, when in death, receives special funeral rites and ceremonies. A KUMASI FUNERAL

In Ghana, taking of one's life is something that is considered very disgraceful no matter the cause. It brings disgrace to the one commits the suicide, the children if any, the immediate family and the community.  This negative outlook on this canker has led to many communities having in place mechanism for conflict resolutions and also community support institutions such as welfare societies, the church, the mosque and the shrine families to help people when in dire need. Unlike the West where suicide is rampant, in Ghana to hear  that someone has committed suicide might mean that the roots cause is either a spiritual, mental issue or an extreme problem beyond resolution.

Welcome to Ghana YAAKO OBITUARY ARCHIVES.  This is a special blog dedicated to everything about death, community rites and ceremonies associated with them in Ghana. Ghanaians perception and values about death is linked to the life circle events from birth to death which marks the beginning of a spiritual journey from the physical world to the spiritual world. Depending on the ethnic community, rites varies to reflect the status, values and norms of the family, associations, religious affiliations and cultural expectations. This is a work in progress and will update it from time to time. GHANA YAAKO OBITUARY ARCHIVES TEAM. USA
