PHOTO! INCREDIBLE COFFINS CELEBRATED IN GHANA.

Hammer time: Coffin designed for a labourer looks like one of his tools

This really is the last nail in the coffin: The casket that looks like a hammer and the other bizarre boxes for the dead

  • Ga tribe of Ghana celebrate in style for their loved ones with novelty coffins
  • Specially designed caskets come in all shapes and sizes, including a movie projector, a gas pump and a grand piano
  • Tribe believe the dead move on to another life and need a new 'home'

End on a high note: Paa Joe, a 67-year-old master coffin maker from Ghana in West Africa, rustled up this grand piano for a music lover

School rules: A notepad and pen pay homage to a former teacher

Life (and death) on film: A movie fan requested this unusual coffin

By the book: The owner of this coffin decided on a Bible design

Injection of life: A coffin shaped like a needle

Building blocks of life: A trowel coffin is the perfect way to remember a mason

Man or mouse: This casket is shaped like a friendly-looking rodent

Prey for me: A brightly-coloured wooden eagle doubles up nicely as a coffin
