The funeral coffin dance of pallbearers from Ghana caused quite a stir on social media last week. In fact, the craze continues as it appeared as a filter on Instagram and many people were trying out the fun. But looks like, they have inspired some other funeral service workers too. Workers from Kwang Heng Coffin Maker, in Malaysia's Kedah region, decided to recreate their own version of the funeral coffin dance and it is too funny! The highlight of their video remains an old aunt who stands in the middle, right in front of the coffin and moves along to the music. The video came up on social media a week ago and has been spreading some laughter online.
