Coffin Delivery


While I was wandering around the village taking pictures, this man was delivering a coffin nearby. I don't think I've seen a purple one before, let alone one delivered on a "boda boda" (a small motorcycle here). They usually carry some pretty random things, and this one had an impact on me as I thought of who would be using it, the family left behind, and all the implications of eternity for the deceased. It also made for an interesting photo. I don't think they usually paint coffins, so that too was a random reason I've posted it. If I've offended you, I am sorry. I just found it sad and interesting all at once.
