The grave was not only shallow but surprisingly it was not wide enough for the white coffin to fit.
Mourners helped turn the casket into the grave
The pallbearers tried to make the casket fit by turning it on its side, but this caused more problems.
It burst, the lid coming off as mourners watched in horror, hoping the body wouldn’t fall.
One of the coffin bearers seemed to show his colleague what to do, as the coffin was stuck and could not move.
They couldn’t turn it over, forcing some mourners to carefully try to help so they didn’t fall into the grave.
Pallbearers, mourners in despair at the funeral
It was not an easy task, for they struggled for some time in the same condition, and the mourners became impatient.
A few mourners volunteered to jump into the grave to help pallbearers share the load, as seen in the clip.
The situation caused confusion for everyone, from the mourners to the pallbearers, as the difficult time escalated.
They finally managed to turn the casket after the lid fell, while the cameraman left to pay respect to the deceased.
Netizens react to the casket opening
Social media users flooded the comments section to share mixed reactions following the trending clip.

“Because they don’t mean to turn the casket into a narrow grave.”
Ozordinaobi Ikenga:
“The foundation of the house is deeper than this.”
I am Ugwu Riensi:
“In Ghana, it is normal for people to dance and dance with the dead.”
Kentley Sobers:
“Bobby, don’t look at funerals and see how they are done. You, Mr. Bobby, and your staff should give the families of the deceased respect. They pay money to give their loved ones a proper burial. If there is one thing to do, do it right.
Have your workers wear uniforms and dig a proper hole so that the casket can be placed properly. If the family wants to carry the casket, let them, but it is your responsibility to make sure the funeral is done with dignity. What happened there should not happen again.”
Lazarus Stanislaus:
“When the results come in. It’s very sad.”
