Accra, in Ghana, is the home of the Ga coffin carpenters. In traditional Ga culture you are buried in a coffin that reflects how you earned your living and how you lived your life.
This has led to the coffin carpenters using their skills to produce a diverse range of coffins and wooden cabinets ranging from training shoes, cars, beer bottles, and fish.
These are now available on the web, via eShopAfrica a fairtrade website. If you fancy getting buried in one of these beauties you had better be aware that they are hand made to order and can take up to 3 months to make.
