Yes Theory, Ghanaians are grateful for this video. And our funerals are always, always happier..
All Ghanaians gather up here for appreciation š¬š

My favourite part is actually that the Ghanaians speak in the present tense about their late family and friends. "My mother is" instead of "My mother was", little details like that are so beautiful to me!

I swear I come back to this channel after months of not watching and I just get hit with a gust of hope and inspiration. Itās crazy.

Iām an American child of a Ghanaian immigrant, my grandfather was the chief of a Ashanti village. When he died at the age of 110 we when back for the funeral that last 3 days. It was the most incredible experience being apart of a āroyal familyā. I have never feared death, and when I do pass I want it to be a celebration of my life, not a sad and cold funeral. This video makes me so proud to be Ashanti-Ghanaian-America š¬š

I may be young now, but I would honestly love to have a funeral like this, a celebration of the life the person lived. This is amazing thank you for documenting this for us

When that one lady said: āIn Ghana, we love everyoneā, I couldnāt stop myself from dropping a tear. Crazy kindness and hospitality, exactly what Iām missing so often in our āperfectā western society worldā¦ Great video, as ALWAYS. Greetings from Germany !

West African countries are criminally underrated. We know so little of them while they are so friendly and kind towards others.

There are so few places on the internet that give a proper representation of people in the real world instead of just the 2% of people that scream the loudest. You guys show that for the most part people are welcoming, nice, caring, and are willing to connect across races/cultures/ethnicities. Keep it up these stories are so awesome and informative. Much Love

Seeing Tommy cry made me cry. That's something I'll always love, admire, and respect about Yes Theory -- there has never been any doubt that everyone involved in this channel is compassionate, kind, generous, and curious about life and all of it's mysteries.

Honestly, I think itās beautiful that Ghanaianās view death as a celebration of life rather than something super depressing like how Western cultures view it. Iāve unfortunately lost several people very close to me, and I feel like the way Westerners go about mourning someone almost make it harder to cope with the loss. But for Ghanaians itās appears that itās more of a āsee ya laterā instead of goodbye forever, I love that
This video honestly made me swell up with tears. Laugh with joy and just feel a sense of connection to a group of people that I don't know. I just wanted to say thank you

"When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure."
What a beautiful video! Thank you all for this one!

When the coffin maker told he want to burried in a hammer coffin that really gave me goosebumps. I have a fear of death but that statement made me understand that some things are inevitable. important thing is to find the hammer for yourself so when you rest forever you will be happy and satisfied that you tried and did what you enjoyed.

I love this country. It's only in Ghana that someone can be crying at a funeral and takes a sudden short break to eat or respond to greetings and then jump right back into mourning mood

Itās amazing to see Yes Theory coming to Africa, Iām Nigerian, and Iāve been living in Ghana for 2 years now. It is a really wonderful and beautiful place here.

You could not be so accepted like this in a European country....NEVER...

I am from Kenya and i have to say this is so different from what we have over here. It is such a good thing you are doing to showcase different people's culture. Would one day like visit Ghana. Much love from Kenya.

Tommy being vulnerable like that made me cry. He is such a sweet and kind soul and that radiates through every video that he is in.
