A trending video making waves online has stirred mixed reactions among Ghanaians after some women were captured performing a symbolic “market selling” act during the funeral of a well-known cabbage seller.
In the viral clip, mourners—mostly women—are seen pouring heaps of cabbages on a blanket laid on the ground, as they dramatically drag and trade them back and forth in what appears to be a reenactment of the deceased’s daily market routine.
While some social media users praised the act as a creative and emotional tribute to celebrate the woman’s hardworking life, others have questioned the gesture, wondering if the cabbages used will later be taken to the market for sale.
One user commented:
> “It’s a touching way to honor her memory, but I just hope those cabbages won’t end up on someone’s dinner table after the funeral.
Another added:
> “This shows how Ghanaians find unique ways to express love and farewell — it’s funny but also deeply cultural.”
The video continues to trend on platforms like TikTok and Facebook, sparking discussions about Ghana’s rich funeral traditions and how communities find creative ways to celebrate the lives of the departed.
