Why an Airplane Coffin?
This airplane coffin confers the deceased with all the prestige and mystique of travel and proclaims the family’s prominence and wealth. It connects the spiritual journey of death with potent reminders of a life well lived.
Although rectangular coffins are the norm, designer coffins are becoming more common in Ga communities. Coffins in the shapes of vehicles, animals, farm produce, and Bibles celebrate the accomplishments of the deceased.
A few specialized workshops produce these coffins for local and international clienteles. Paa Joe’s workshop in Nungua, Ghana, made this airplane coffin. Pay Joe follows his artistic tuition in detailing designer coffins. He used Christmas wrapping paper in the windows of this KLM 747 jumbo jet.
