”GEN. Erskine is no more” was the terse message announcing the death of Lt Gen. Emmanuel Alexander Erskine at the 37 Military Hospital on May 7, 2021 at age 86.
In his column in the Daily Graphic of April 9, 2021, Communications Consultant and veteran writer Enimil Ashon, celebrating Dr Joyce Aryee on her 75th birthday stated as follows:
“It is impossible to write about Dr Joyce Aryee in the Daily Graphic. In this column, I cannot go beyond 700-750 words. The number of boards on which she sits, is, alone, enough to fill the space.”

In my article last week titled, ‘Prince Philip Goes Home & Culture,’ I wrote on how expensive, wasteful, time-consuming and complicated Ghanaian funerals are, as against the simple funeral of Prince Philip in the UK.
His burial a week after his death is unheard of in Ghana, except in the Moslem community where, depending on the time of death, one is buried either on the same day or the next day.
While generally resonating with me on the need for drastic changes in our expensive/time-consuming funerals, readers asked, who will initiate this deeply-rooted change of handling the dead in Ghana? “Who will bell the cat?”
