The final funeral rites of the late Asantehemaa, Nana Konadu Yiadom III, will be observed over a four-day period from September 14 to 18, 2025, at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi.
In keeping with Ashanti tradition, all funerals across the Ashanti Kingdom will be suspended from September 1 to 18 to accord full reverence to the memory of the late Queen Mother.
As part of the arrangements, shops and businesses are expected to close on September 18 to enable citizens and visitors to participate in the solemn rites and pay their last respects.
The funeral of Nana Konadu Yiadom III, who played a pivotal role in the Ashanti Kingdom until her passing, is expected to draw large numbers of mourners, dignitaries, and traditional leaders from Ghana and beyond.
Nana Konadu Yiadom III passed away at dawn on August 7, 2025. A one-week observation in her honour was held on August 21, 2025, at the forecourt of the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi.
