The final funeral rites for Ghana's former First Lady, Theresa Kufuor, is scheduled to take place at the Heroes Park in Kumasi on November 18, 2023.

Additionally, a thanksgiving service is planned at St. Peter's Cathedral in Kumasi on November 19, 2023.

A State funeral, honoring Theresa Kufuor, was previously held at the State House forecourt on November 16. The former First Lady passed away at her Peduase residence on October 1 at the age of 87, surrounded by her family.

During the State funeral, thousands of mourners, including family, friends, political representatives from various countries, and other dignitaries, gathered to pay their respects.

Former President John Kufuor, the widower, expressed poignant sentiments about his late wife, describing her as soft-spoken and well-mannered, emphasizing the unfillable void her departure has left in his life.

Dignitaries in attendance included President Akufo-Addo and First Lady Rebecca Akufo-Addo, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, former President John Dramani Mahama, and a delegation from the National Democratic Congress, Ghana's largest opposition party.

The event also saw the presence of international figures such as former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo and Liberia's Vice President.
