I have a coffee table book of pix of the fancy Ghanaian (the correct term BTW) coffins, some of them are pretty amazing... my favorite is the extremely detailed 1/4 scale Mercedes. My mom & auntie are about to attend the funeral of a Ghanaian traditional leader, he will probably have one of the prestige coffins... hope they can get pix!
