"He is a wise man. It's only in Africa we leave the burden of our funeral for relatives who re already in mourning. Africans don't ever plan fir their death. They want to go to heaven but don't want to die. Death is a debt we must all pay so why not make it easy on ur loved ones by saving them from incuring debts on ur funeral expenses.plan your final expenses through the right insurance company or do it yourself."

Another man planned his burial in advance

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a Nigerian man, Clement Usoro, gave a fresh perspective on life and death after building his grave and even celebrating his funerals before his demise.

The 73-year-year-old, in an interview, said he made the necessary preparations for his death three years ago when he marked his 70th birthday anniversary.

According to the septuagenarian, he has also written his will. Usoro, however, said he keeps updating it to "keep up with time."
