I bought Ebony’s casket and paid mortuary fees – Lawrence Tetteh

Economist and Evangelist, Rev Dr Lawrence Tetteh has revealed that he bought the casket for the burial of late Dancehall artiste, Ebony Reigns.
“I have been hearing some people being acknowledged for their contributions to the funeral, but I paid for the hearse and mortuary fees…,” he said.
The Man of God preaching at the funeral of late Dancehall artiste, Priscilla Kwateng known in showbiz as Ebony Reigns said he paid for all these things because he saw the funeral as a crusade to preach Christ to the unsaved.
“It is not because I don’t know what to do with my money but because I see this programme as an opportunity to speak to you about the love of God…,” he said.
The celebrated Man of God ceased the opportunity to call people to repentance stressing that Christ is the only one who can save them from their sins.
One sentence after the other, the Man of God who claimed he led Ebony to recite the sinners’ prayer 72 hours before her death reminded the stars at the funeral that they can’t make it in life without Christ.
The funeral is still ongoing at the forecourt of the State House in Accra

Why Ghanaians Are So Slow To Bury Their Dead - BBC

In our series of letters from African journalists, writer Elizabeth Ohene considers why bodies are not buried for months, sometimes years, in Ghana. This past week there was another one of those typically Ghanaian funeral stories in the news. The body of a chief who had died six years ago was still in the morgue as the family bickered over who should be designated as the "chief mourner". I was, as is usual with me, outraged. But the story did not attract much attention because we regularly leave dead bodies in the morgue for long periods to sort out the disputes that erupt after every death in this country. Our elaborate, expensive funerals and over-the-top dramatically carved caskets are well documented. In spite of the keen interest I have taken in trying to work out how funerals came to have such a hold on our society, there are some things that I still cannot understand after all these years. Fantasy coffins I have to keep on trying to find explanations....
