Dr. Osei Kwame Despite bids farewell to late mother-in-law in grand style

Ghanaian business tycoon Osei Kwame Despite is preparing to bid farewell to his late mother-in-law in a highly anticipated funeral this weekend.

The passing of his mother-in-law, occurred a few weeks ago, and the family has meticulously planned an elaborate set of final rites to honour her memory.

A solemn yet grand display marked the beginning of the proceedings when her remains were transported via helicopter, housed in a luxurious casket, to the town of Mamponteng near Kumasi.

This gesture of respect underscores the significance of her position in both the family and community.

The golden casket, which caught the attention of many, was flown from Accra after a formal memorial service.

It was a spectacle that saw a large turnout, including family members, friends, and dignitaries who gathered to pay their respects.

Upon arrival in Mamponteng, the deceased’s remains were ceremoniously received by grieving family members, including Kwame Despite and his wife, Awurama Osei.

A procession followed, where pallbearers carefully transferred the casket to an awaiting hearse, marking the start of the final stages of the burial rites.

The atmosphere was one of deep mourning as the assembled crowd, some visibly emotional, watched the procession unfold.

The late Mrs. Opoku-Acheampong, as she was known, had evidently left an indelible mark on her family, and the outpouring of grief reflected the depth of the loss.

The three-day event, spanning from October 11 to 13, is expected to draw significant attention, with many coming together to celebrate the life of a woman who was clearly cherished by those who knew her.

This funeral, with its grandeur and symbolic gestures, will not only be a farewell but also a final tribute to her legacy.
