Dancing Pallbearers, also known by a variety of names, including Dancing Coffin, Coffin Dancers, Coffin Dance Meme, or simply Coffin Dance, are a Ghanaian group of pallbearers who are based in the coastal town of Prampram in the Greater Accra Region of southern Ghana, although they perform across the country as well as outside Ghana.[1] The founder and leader of the group is Benjamin Aidoo.[2] They are locally referred to as Nana Otafrija Pallbearing and Waiting Service or Dada awu.[3]

The group initially gained worldwide attention through a BBC feature story in 2017.[4] In March 2020, the group became an internet meme when the videos were paired with EDM song "Astronomia" by Tony Igy,[5] and gained popularity in video edits.[6]

Origin
The Dancing Pallbearers are led by Benjamin Aidoo, who started the group as a regular pallbearer service in 2003.[7][8] He later had the idea of adding choreography to their pallbearing work. Extra fees are charged for dancing with the coffin during a funeral.[9] The Dancing Pallbearers first rose to prominence in 2017 when they were featured in a BBC News report.[10] The third video, which depicted pallbearers accidentally dropping a coffin during their dance, was first posted by Facebook user Bigscout Nana Prempeth on May 2, 2019 and gaining over 2,900 reactions, 4,600 shares and 350,000 views in one year, and then Matthew "DigiNeko" Ordrick uploaded it in YouTube where it received over 300M views.[11]

Spread
The video gained significant popularity on TikTok as a punchline for FAIL clips in a manner similar to To Be Continued and We'll Be Right Back memes, implying that the person in the FAIL video has died. For example, on March 6, 2020, TikTok account Trickshots posted a version of the meme that received over 2.9 million views and 237,000 likes.[6] In 2020, the meme was used to send a message around the world during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.[12] Since the trend, it has been popular on social media but mostly used on TikTok.[13]
