The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has announced that the final funeral rites of the late Asantehemaa, Nana Konadu Yiadom III, will be held from Sunday, September 14, to Thursday, September 18, at the Manhyia Palace.
The rites will be observed in line with Asante tradition and will draw chiefs, queen mothers, dignitaries, and mourners from across Ghana and beyond.
The Palace says elaborate cultural displays, traditional mourning rituals, and homage-paying ceremonies will mark the occasion in honour of the late Asantehemaa, who passed away earlier this month.

As part of preparations, the Asantehene has announced a ban on all public gatherings, including funerals, outdoor events, and social activities, within Kumasi and its environs during the five-day period.
The move, according to authorities, is to preserve the sanctity of the royal rites, ensure security, and avoid disruptions as large crowds are expected to converge.
The Palace has urged the public to cooperate fully with the directive and to accord the occasion the dignity and reverence it deserves.
