In a video on Instagram, Yaw Amponsah Marfo popularly called Agya Wiase went with family and friends to unveil his wife’s tombstone and commemorate one year anniversary after she passed away.
Agya Wiase’s wife was called Deaconess Emelia Amponsah Marfo. Agya Wiase came to Ankaase in the Ashanti Region where his wife was laid to rest.
The house was a huge compound with tiles everywhere on the floor. Aside from the main house there was the plush building painted all-white with a porch in front of it and a gate.
The tiles were black and white to coordinate with the colour of the building. When they opened the door there was a kente cloth covering the tombstone.
The family and friends present came with wreaths and prayed for the departed soul. They also laid several wreaths.
Some of the wreaths were from Agya Wiase to his wife, his children, church members and other groups the deceased belonged to when she was alive. A pastor who was present prayed over the tombstone.
Agya Wiase was wearing a black cloth. A few others wore black fabrics too but many of those present were in a black and white cloth with the picture of the deceased in it.
