A video showing a specially designed coffin for a late gym instructor has gone viral, sparking mixed reactions online. The clip, taken during the funeral, features pallbearers carrying a casket shaped to represent the deceased’s love for fitness. Attendees at the service were seen mourning while also admiring the creative tribute.
However, the elaborate coffin has reignited discussions about Ghana’s funeral traditions. Some people argue that the money spent on such extravagant caskets could be used to help those still alive. On social media, opinions were divided—some praised the originality, while others criticized the focus on lavish funerals instead of addressing social needs. Many also highlighted the growing business of custom coffin makers, as more people seek personalized designs for their loved ones.
Despite the debate, the funeral was a heartfelt goodbye, celebrating the gym instructor’s life in a truly memorable way.
