Some traditions are really strange. This is a good example of a culture shock that can make many people have goose pimples on their body with their hairs on the skin standing at attention.

At a funeral in Ghana, a dead man was seen being carried on the shoulders at his funeral while the crowd sang and clapped.

What do you think about this type of culture/tradition in Africa?

This is a joke taken too far.

Why all these for God's sake.

Is there no other way to respect the death than scaring people

It seems this practice is common among tribes in Ghana.

Well, the dead isnt aware of this and this isnt really a disrespect to it

I feel for the family members tho, how would they feel seeing their just departed loved ones being used to practise ancient stunts

There was a trending story that three of the guys that carried the corpse have died as well. How true is that, anyone?

At least this one is better than the show of african lies that some undertakers perform with coffins. They tell us that they couldn't move while carrying the coffin because the corpse inside suddenly became almightily heavy grin

Set awon lying genius grin

The jukun wapan tribe in Taraba State does the same thing to their king known as Aku. They believe their King don't die only transcend to the world beyond. The shocking thing is that they don't bury their King.

There is a technique for making dead bodies flexible. Ask around.

Are the people there complaining to you that they are scared?

It's the way Ghanaians do their own funeral rites
