    Funerals are celebrated differently around the world. In some cultures like the Ashanti people of Ghana, funerals are celebrated like parties with dancing, singing, and community participation while wearing red and black colors of mourning. In contrast, Spanish funerals are more somber occasions attended just by family and friends, without music or dancing, as it is considered a sad day with people returning home to grieve privately. Ultimately, different cultures have different funeral traditions and people will view traditions outside their own culture differently.

    Mourning

    Funerals are a tradition that is celebrated all over the world but not in all places
    is it celebrated in the same form. There are countries that make a party, and
    there are others where people mourn for a lot of days.

    Firstly, I will talk about Ashanti funerals, in that they celebrate the funerals like
    a party, with all the comunity, not only friends or family. In that festivity they
    dance, sing and eat because they think it’s not bad, because they and their
    culture think that’s good when someone dies. There the predominant colors of
    mourning are red and black.

    Instead there are other countries such as Spain, where funerals are sad and
    people usually dress in black. First, in Spain, in this types of celebrities,
    normally only there are family and friends, and they don’t dance or sing
    because, they think that is a very sad day. Secondly, in Spain people soon go
    home to think.

    Finally, from my point of view, I think all traditions are fine, but everyone will like
    a different funeral tradition and the other funeral tradition probably they will find
    it wrong.
