The video of black people carrying coffins comes from Ghana, a small country on the "Gold Coast" in Africa, near Nigeria. Nearly a quarter of the coastline of the national border determines its relatively rich economy and magical culture.

Ghana's geographical location, the local people have the habit of making some gorgeous coffins according to the occupation, status and wealth of the deceased before his death. Coffins come in various shapes, such as cars and pianos.

This was originally a traditional custom of Ga people who mainly lived in southern Ghana (this is my transliteration, formerly known as Ga). For example, priests will be buried in sword-shaped coffins, and hunters will be buried in animal-shaped coffins.

But around 1960, this custom gradually became the tradition of almost all sects and nationalities in Ghana. The dance team in the popular black coffin-carrying video is a very famous local coffin-carrying team. It is said that it is expensive, and not everyone can afford it after death.

Ghanaians believe that death is not the end. The dead will live forever in another world and affect the living for a long time. Funeral is just a ceremony to send the dead to another world. Their relatives breathed a sigh of relief, and the audience was happy to watch their performance. This cheerful and open-minded view of death is very touching.
