Ghanaian actress Beverly Afaglo is being laid to rest today, Saturday, August 8, 2026, as family, friends, colleagues, and fans gather in Accra to pay their final respects and celebrate her life.

The main funeral service is being held at the Forecourt of the State House in Accra, with proceedings scheduled to begin at 7:00 a.m.

Following the funeral service, Beverly Afaglo will be buried in a private ceremony reserved for close family members.

Today’s funeral rites form part of a series of ceremonies organised by the family to honour the late actress and allow loved ones in Ghana and abroad to mourn her passing and celebrate her life.

The first phase of the funeral took place on Saturday, August 1, 2026, in Laurel, Maryland, in the United States. The ceremony brought together relatives, friends, and members of the Ghanaian diaspora community, who gathered to remember Beverly and reflect on her life and career.

The final funeral activities in Ghana will conclude on Sunday, August 9, 2026, with a thanksgiving service at Action Chapel International. The service is scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m.

Beverly Afaglo passed away on May 24, 2026, at the age of 42 after a battle with cancer. Her death occurred just four days before her 43rd birthday.

Her passing was met with an outpouring of grief from Ghana’s entertainment community and audiences who had followed her career over the years.

Beverly was a familiar face in Ghana’s film and television industry, where she built a notable career through her appearances in movies and television productions. Her performances earned her recognition among Ghanaian audiences and established her as one of the actresses associated with the country’s vibrant entertainment industry.

Beyond her work on screen, her presence in Ghanaian popular culture made her a recognisable figure to many fans. Her death therefore marked a significant loss to the acting fraternity, with colleagues, friends and admirers remembering her for the contribution she made to Ghanaian entertainment.

As mourners gather at the State House today, the focus remains on celebrating Beverly Afaglo’s life, remembering her work and offering support to her family as they bid farewell to a woman who left a lasting mark on Ghana’s film and television landscape.

The thanksgiving service on Sunday will provide one final opportunity for family, friends, colleagues and members of the public to come together in remembrance before the funeral activities officially come to an end.
