Elaborate Funerals, Fantasy Coffins

ACCRA, GHANA - JUNE 21: A sack of flour fantasy coffin designed by Eric Kpakpo Adotey, and painted by Joseph Adjetey Sowah sits on a display on June 21, 2019 in La Accra, Ghana. A flour fantasy coffin is perfect for a baker or a dealer in flour. At the peak of Ghana's famine in 1983, flour dealers and bakers became notorious for hoarding and hiking prices. Among residents of Accra, the single, major highlight of a funeral is the coffin, leading to the creation of "fantasy coffins" or "proverbial coffins." These coffins are designed to reflect the personality, career, accomplishments or unfulfilled dreams of the deceased. (Photo by Nana Kofi Acquah/Getty Images for Lumix)
