The Awudome Cemetery in Accra, a sacred and serene resting place for the dead, is gradually being turned into a dumping site, with trash and filth littering the grounds and front view of the place.

What is supposed to be the final resting place of the dead is strewn with rubbish, including coconut husks and plastic waste.

Also, the front view of the cemetery is being turned into a bustling commercial place with auto-mechanics and vulcanising shops and a hub for the sale of all manner of wares.
