I don't know if this will help if you're specifically interested in a burial, rather than a death, but consular and other overseas registrations can be viewed online for free at FamilyRelatives.org [registration required].

Sorry I can't help John, but I would be very interested if anyone else can - one of my ancestors died in Accra in 1920's. Bev x

Just a little nudge in case all those thousands of people that have been to Accra have missed my thread.
