Argh. Why can he not bury his wife in the US? In any case he would be getting insurance money so if he desires to bring the corpse to Ghana he can use that money to do so. Massa, cut your coat according to your size
May her soul rest in peace.
If you can't help him, shut up and let him bury his wife where he wishes!
Oooh please!! this guy is just suggesting an alternative
SO IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE MEANS TO DO IT, JUST DO WHAT YOUR MEANS ALLOW YOU TO DO. BEGGAR
These Ashanti people and their use of funerals to make money. It is becoming too much.
I am not the one asking the public for help to bury my wife in Ghana
How much did you donate?
Someone is trying to make money here there are many ways this can be done.
1) huge insurance money to be paid.
2) The body to be buried here.
3) The body can be given to the state.
Please dont take advantage of your wife' ...

Shut up if u don't want to help
Kwaseato, shut up if you can't contribute
Isn't it natural for him to want to take her back home for burial? It would bea different story if she was originally from the USA
Our sincere condolences to the husband and family.
You are a big fool
The cost is nearly the same but yes the drivers insurance company must bear the cost very simple.
WHERE IS THE INSURANCE MONEY?
I thought people always says that US is heaven, why is he seeking for help to bring the wife body home, anyway let us help him because it's nt easy out there, Trust me guys Ghana is far more better than some of these foreign ...

Dr. Alhaji Timothy Bawumia. You Campaigned to obtain and issue US visas for votes. Being one of your corner pillars. So, how far?
Tell this man to get a lawyer. Regardless of if the car is insured or not, once there was an accident involved, the insurance company is obligated to compensate somehow.
Also where did she work or where does he work? S ...

It is unfortunate he has lost his wife. However, I am wondering why he wants to bring his wife home and bury. There are a lot of living people in Ghana who need help.
Some things are for those who can’ afford.
Sad, but if you're abroad and you haven't signed on to life insurance policies please think again. Some few pounds, dollars and euros could help sad eventualities like this. Those Gh kuo this and that don't pay anything. A $1 ...

WELL SAID!! Ohene
By default, most people get accidental death insurance benefit at work or through membership associations like community banks etc or one could buy and pay a monthly premium like you said.
There is no need to get a death ...

Just bury her there. What is this business about repatriating bodies. The dead are dead and gone. Use the money to look after any young ones she left behind. You can do a funeral in Ghana if you want.
Why bring her body back to ghana with all that cist involved when that money can be invested in the childrens education or put in a trust for their future. Just bury her in the usa and let the family know. If its the drivers ...

The car driver is not dead so he should tell him to assist in bringing the body to Ghana

What's the value in spending at least $15K USD just to bring the body t Ghana. Then spend another undisclosed amount to organize funeral in Ghana. Sure if the husband has the finance he should go for it but to ask for help to ...

May she rest in peace
The driver's insurance will have to pay the victim's family, the husband can use some of the proceeds to repatriate the body to Ghana
The drivers Insurance may not have to pay anything. My guess is she was jay-walking (crossing the road illegally) when the accident happened. That's why the driver did not run away, and police won't be pressing criminal charg ...

Notwithstanding what you wrote, the husband can still file a claim against the driver's insurance company.
No he can't. Only thing he can do is sue the driver. But seeing as the police didn't press charges either, his case will get thrown out; if he sues. I'm pretty sure the driver is 'road worthy', and the lady crossed the road i ...

Insurance could cover this unless the family did not hire a lawyer
Howbout her employer walmart , cant they foot da bil?
The question Walmart management will ask is, "did she died while working"? If not, then that can't be their concern. Walmart may decide to pay her family something small out of charity if they want.
A Ghanaian woman died ...

Asaase bira nkyir foun, Clements should just do the burial in the US where she died na Ghana fo pir too much. Repatriation will not bring her back to life.
He could just cremate her body and bring the ashes back home at far cheaper cost
Why should we contribute as we know insurance will pay every money in USA. Master USA is not Ghana. I know for sure that you will not gain not less than 500,000 dollars
It’s not authorized by the man or his friends or family. Please leave family alone to mourn.
May her soul rest in peace. It just happened one block away from where I live. That road is dangerous to cross and the drivers are reckless. They don't even care when traffic turns red. I was crossing the same road to get to ...

Do not waste 15 to 20 thousand dollars to bring her to Ghana.
Asase nkyeni funu.
If she has children, use the money to support the children instead of bringing the body to Ghana. Her childre ...

Those who do not know are talking anyhow. Do you know how much it cost here in the US to hire a lawyer. If you can help just help. I live close to
where the incident happened. Nnipa hia moa
This is not the first time a dead body is being sent to Ghana. This is a disgrace to the family. Stop and organize yourself if you really want to send the body to Ghana.
