Coffin makers at Asafo Labour in Kumasi, the capital of the Ashanti Region, have adamantly declared that marriage has become extremely difficult for them due to their line of work.
In an interview with Osei Kwadwo of Pure Fm, some coffin makers from Garden City claimed that females constantly reject their marriage and love proposals because of their occupation.
They claim that when they propose to women, they will accept, but once they learn that we make coffins, they will want a breakup.
“Despite our best attempts to satisfy the women’ requirements and make them happy, they will never go on a romantic journey with us. The majority of women are terrified of us because we make coffins, which is very pitiful, they said.
They describe how “several of our married coworkers kept their work from their spouses until they got married. Even some of them filed for divorce after discovering their husbands’ jobs.
They (the ladies) are aware that just because we produce coffins doesn’t mean we are dangerous or support homicide. The same woods that are used to make coffins are also used to make beds, shoe stands, wardrobes, and other furniture by carpenters.
