A Ghanaian man has been given a truly unusual and memorable send-off as he was laid to rest in a bottle-shaped casket, an act that has since sparked widespread buzz and conversations both online and offline.
In a trending video circulating on social media, a group of pallbearers could be seen carrying the uniquely designed casket to its final resting place. The sight immediately caught the attention of many, as the coffin was not the traditional wooden box but instead an elaborate structure fashioned to resemble a giant green beer bottle.
Reports gathered revealed that the design of the casket was intentional and symbolic. It was said to have been crafted in this form to reflect the lifestyle and passion of the deceased, who was allegedly an ardent lover of beer during his lifetime. According to family members and close associates, the gesture was a way to honor his memory and ensure his final journey represented what he cherished while alive.
The green bottle-shaped casket has since gone viral, attracting admiration for its creativity as well as mixed feelings from netizens who found the concept both fascinating and humorous. Such caskets are part of Ghana’s rich tradition of “fantasy coffins,” where individuals are buried in designs that highlight their profession, passion, or legacy.
