In a striking tribute to his life’s work, a Ghanaian fisherman was recently laid to rest in a custom-made fish-shaped coffin—a symbolic farewell reflecting his deep connection to the sea.
A video of the unique burial ceremony, shared on X (formerly Twitter) by user @SIKAOFFICIAL1, has quickly captured the attention of thousands online.
The footage shows pallbearers carefully carrying the large, intricately crafted coffin through a cemetery, maneuvering between headstones as they made their way to the fisherman’s final resting place.
The fish-shaped coffin, beautifully detailed and unmistakable in design, served as both a final honor and a celebration of the late fisherman’s lifelong profession.
The touching gesture has since sparked widespread admiration on social media, with many praising the creative send-off as a deeply meaningful way to preserve and respect the identity of the deceased—even in death.
