One of the manufacturers and sellers of coffins in Kumasi Asafo Labour Roundabout, Akwasi Baafi revealed that some people have been visiting his shop to buy coffins not to bury their dead relatives but to keep them for future use.
In an interview with Ambassador TV hosted by Osei Kwadwo, Mr. Baafi said, “There are some people who know the day they will die because of their health conditions so they buy the coffin they want their family to use to bury them while others also buy it because of the price increment of coffins”
According to Mr. Akwasi Baafi, “people sometimes will pay for the coffin and later visit with their family members just to show them the coffin he/she has bought for his/her burial when he or she dies”
“But there are some of them who will buy the coffin and order us to wrap it so he or she can take it home because he is buying it ahead of his or her death” Mr. Baafi explained.
“Though we always pray for good business because every worker prays for good business we do not wish people to die”
“The fact we sell and make coffins doesn’t mean we feel happy when people die. We are human beings and we feel the pains when people are dying but death is part of our journey and no one can escape it”. He stressed.
