The final funeral rites of the late actress are being held on Saturday, August 8, 2026, at the forecourt of the State House in Accra, following a change from the original venue announced earlier in the year.

The ceremony marks the final public farewell to an actress whose career spanned more than two decades and whose work earned her a strong following within Ghana's film and entertainment industry.

Beverly Afaglo's final farewell

Beverly Afaglo's funeral has attracted significant attention from Ghana's entertainment community, with colleagues, friends and fans coming together to remember the actress and entrepreneur.

The funeral service is being held at the forecourt of the State House, with proceedings beginning in the morning.

Following the service, Beverly Afaglo will be laid to rest in a private burial ceremony, according to arrangements announced by her family.

A thanksgiving service is scheduled for Sunday, August 9, 2026, at Action Chapel International, providing another opportunity for family, friends and loved ones to celebrate her life.

A career that left a mark on Ghanaian film

Beverly Afaglo built a career that stretched across more than 20 years.

She became known for appearances in several Ghanaian movies, including Return of Beyonce, Crime to Christ and Girls Connection.

Her other film credits included Never Again, Turn Me On, The Game, Single Six, Equatorial Escape, Secret Burden, The King's Bride, Total Exchange, Playboy, Big Girls Club, CEO and About to Wed, among others.

Beyond acting, Afaglo also developed an identity as an entrepreneur and media personality, maintaining a connection with her audience beyond the screen.

Her death consequently generated widespread reactions from Ghana's entertainment community and the wider public.

Her death shocked the entertainment industry

Beverly Afaglo died on May 24, 2026, at the age of 42, just days before her 43rd birthday. Her death was announced by her husband, musician Eugene Baah, popularly known as Choirmaster of Praye fame.

According to the Ghana News Agency, she had been battling cancer for about two years.

News of her death triggered an outpouring of tributes from colleagues, friends and fans who remembered her contribution to Ghana's film industry and her personality away from the cameras.

Choirmaster's emotional loss

The funeral has also drawn attention to the grief of Beverly's husband, Choirmaster.

The couple's relationship and family life have remained a significant part of public interest following her death.

Choirmaster previously expressed deep pain over the loss of his wife, describing her as a central part of his life and recalling the happiness and support she brought to him.

His emotional return to Ghana ahead of the funeral also captured public attention, with reports showing the musician struggling with his emotions as he prepared to say goodbye to his wife.

The final funeral rites are therefore not only a farewell from the entertainment industry but also a deeply personal moment for her husband, children and wider family.

Tributes from Ghana's entertainment community

Beverly's passing has brought together different generations of Ghana's entertainment industry.

Actors, filmmakers, musicians and media personalities have continued to pay tribute to her, reflecting on her contribution to Ghanaian film and the relationships she built during her career.

Her one-week memorial, held in May, attracted colleagues and members of the public who gathered to remember her life. The ceremony featured prayers, tributes and symbolic moments of remembrance.

Among those who have publicly remembered her are fellow actresses and entertainers who worked with or knew her during her career.

Why Beverly Afaglo will be remembered

For many Ghanaians, Beverly Afaglo represented more than the characters she played on screen.

Her career reflected the growth of Ghana's film and entertainment industry over a period in which local productions reached increasingly large audiences.

Her appearances in popular movies helped establish her as a familiar face, while her activities outside acting broadened her public profile.

Her passing has therefore created a sense of loss within an industry that has watched many of its familiar faces build careers across film, television, music and entrepreneurship.

A final goodbye

As mourners gather at the State House today, the focus is shifting from the shock of Beverly Afaglo's death to the celebration of the life she lived.

Family members, colleagues and fans will have the opportunity to reflect on her career, her relationships and the memories she leaves behind.

The private burial that follows the public funeral service will bring the day's formal farewell to a close, while Sunday's thanksgiving service will provide another opportunity to celebrate her life.

For Ghana's entertainment industry, however, Beverly Afaglo's legacy will continue through the films she appeared in, the people she influenced and the memories shared by those who knew her.

Today, Ghana says goodbye to Beverly Afaglo — an actress, entrepreneur, wife, mother and familiar face whose journey through Ghana's entertainment industry left a lasting impression.

May her memory continue to live on.
