  1. That must have been a single woman who died without giving birth. In some cultures, spinsters and people who commit suicide are buried like that.

  2. This is how some part of the north (Ghana)bury their ppl,the grave is very deep and and it’s been dug in a rectangular shape underneath,as they are putting the deceased through the hole they have 2 other ppl inside there who will properly lay her down they then cover her with with leaves or extra cloths and come out,the entrance of the hole is been covered with a calabash and then cemented,this is only done by ppl who are well cleansed and purified this is mostly done at mid night

  3. To the muslims in the comment section, this has nothing to do with religion. Probably cultural or the deceased last wishes. Stop trying to make this about religion.

  4. IDK but I find this burial very disturbing 😢 I wish I hadn't watched it 😭😭 Death is Sad. We have to keep thinking of the future when Jesus will bring about the resurrection of all our dead loved ones including this poor lady 🙏🏼 where she will be healthy and happy and full of life !

  5. Some of you are so clouded by your close minded judgements that y’all don’t think. What does someone culture and tradition have to with your religion?

  6. That's how my people bury the dead! Inside the hole, there is a chamber with many of family members already buried previously. The opening is sometimes closed with a simple calebasse jar. It's done by the Dagari that live across Ghana, Burkina and Ivory Coast.

  7. This is a known burial place for a certain tribe known as THE WALA'S, located in the Upper West region of northern Ghana. There is ample space within to accommodate the interment of an entire extended family. They will stack the bones for the following occupant when the dead decompose.
