In a TikTok by @zee462073, a coffin was on a platform for the audience to get a good view. The casket was attached to a contraption that spun it around. The coffin was seen spinning at a decent speed in a viral video.
Extravagant and showy funerals are a tradition in some West African cultures. Ghana is known for coffin spinning, which is a way to celebrate the deceased's life. Funerals in Ghana also include pallbearers who carry a coffin while dancing. The point is to ensure that the life of the deceased is honoured.
