Funeral rites for Asantehemaa will take place from September 14-18.

The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei II, has announced a ban on all funerals within the kingdom between September 1 to 18, 2025, when the late Asantehemaa, Nana Konadu Yiadom III, will be finally laid to rest.

The main rituals are scheduled to commence on Sunday, September 14, and continue until Thursday, September 18, during which the final burial rites will be observed, followed by the burial in the late evening.

On the day of the burial, residents are expected to remain indoors.

Additionally, all shops and markets within the metropolis and parts of the region will be closed on the day of the final rites.

This was announced on Thursday, August 21, during the one-week observance of the late queen mother, who died on August 7, 2025, at the age of 98.

Prominent Ghanaian leaders, including former Presidents John Agyekum Kufuor and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, and former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, joined the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, to mourn the passing of the Asantehemaa, Nana Ama Konadu Yiadom III.

The leaders, accompanied by high-ranking government officials and dignitaries, converged at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi to participate in the one-week observance of the late queen mother.
