Leave your thoughts on the Ga Tribe's Coffins

From the lens Coffins of the Ga tribe in Ghana.

What do you think about these decorative coffins? What would you be buried in?

    Interesting. A unique coffin for a unique person. Sounds right. I just wonder if the dead could choose if they would have chosen the coffins for themselves.

    This is amazing. The closest thing I have seen to anything like this is Clemson Fans being buried in Orange Coffins. lol

    What an unusual and fascinating lens! I wonder if any Lensmasters will opt for a Squid coffin?

    Most fascinating. I would never want to "waste" the money or energy on a fancy coffin, but I find their custom quite interesting, and I can appreciate the art.

    "Often called "fantasy coffins", they represent something about how deceased lived." I suppose then a funeral worker would get a boring coffin shaped coffin?

    Me, I'll make do with a cardboard box. Very interesting lens. 5 stars.

    This is wonderful art. I am attending an art appreciation class and we are studying your coffins. Most interesting. I think this is a marvelous idea. Keep it up. Not sure I would want one, though. Maybe, I'm too conservative.

    Hmmm... maybe a giant model of a butterfly cocoon? This is a great collection of images.
