Rites funeraires

Au Ghana, les funerailles, c,est important! Souvent, elles ont lieux plusieurs semaines apres le deces de la personne pour permettre a la famille d,avertir tous les proches et d'amasser l'argent necessaire a la ceremonie.

Les celebrations se tiennent pendant 3 jours du vendredi au dimanche. Le vendredi, tout le monde se reunit pour aller chercher le corps a la morgue. Le tout se fait en chantant et en dansant. Plus il y a de bruits, plus c'est un signe que la personne etait appreciee. Ensuite, la musique et les chants se poursuivent alors qu'un cortege de voiture suivent le corbillard (fonction ici occupe par les ambulances) jusqu'a la residence du defun ou de l'un de ces proches. Ces corteges sont toujours tres impresionnant a croiser, surtout en ville.

Le samedi, tout le monde se reunit de nouveau pour veiller le mort. La veille n'est pas silencieuse. Encore une fois, la musique a plein volume est de mise. On mange, on boit, on fait la fete.

Le dimanche est le jour de mise en terre au cimetiere. Prealablement dans les petits villages, les hommes se seront relies pour porter le cerceuil a travers le village suivis par les musiciens et chanteurs. Ici aussi, le meme principe s'applique, plus on fait de bruits, plus on temoigne de l'affection pour le defunt. Cette fois, les coups de petards viennent apuyer le son des percussions.

Pendant les 3 jours, tous les proches et amis seront vetus de vetements traditionels noirs et rouges. Sinon, on fait produire des t-shirt presentant la photo du defun avec une courte notice necrologique que tous porteront fierement.

Vous l'aurez compris, les funerailles au Ghana sont l'occasion de faire un gros party. Certains passent 3 jours saouls. Les jeunes nous ont avoue que plusieurs amourettes de passage voyait le jour pendant ces funerailles qui rassemblent les gens.

Mais les funerailles ont aussi des inconvenients importants. La crise electrique touche aussi les morgues ce qui complique la conservation des corps (certaines familles attendent des mois avant d'avoir l'argent necessaire au funerailles) La question monetaire a aussi d'autres repercussions. Plusieurs personnes ne benificient pas de tous les soins dont ils auraient besoin car la famille commence deja a economiser pour les funerailles...

Les rites funeraires sont une des particularites du Ghana. Source de rassemblement, ils sont aussi a la base de certains problemes sociaux.

It's really very complicated in this active life to listen news on Television, thus I only use world wide web for that reason, and get the most recent information.

Today, I went to the beach with my children.

I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear
and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The
words in your article seem to be running off the screen in
Firefox. I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let you know.
The style and design look great though! Hope you get the problem
solved soon. Cheers

Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need
some advice from an established blog. Is it hard to set up your
