The story behind coffin dance meme

A meme featuring four men dancing while holding a coffin is going viral on social media. The clip is mostly used when something bad is about to happen. These four men have also become the symbol of the lockdown with the slogan ‘Stay at home or dance with us’.

While you may think that this is either a scene of a movie or is being shot for comedy purposes, but you will not believe that these people actually exist and it actually happens in Ghana, Africa.

These dancing people are called “dancing pallbearers”. They are professional dancers that are hired by the family to turn a funeral into a party. They became famous in 2015 when an African YouTuber ‘Travelin sister’ posted a video of her mother-in-law’s burial in Ghana. Since then the clip has gone viral on social media.
