MEET The Tribe/Village In Indonesia That Dig Out Dead Bodies Of Loved Ones Every 3 Years & Clean Them

A village in Indonesia named TORAJA whose culture is to dig up dead bodies of their loved ones and clean them up and wear them nice clothes and spend the day with them and then bury them back

Every three years, for more than 900 years, the people of Lembang Paton Village dig out the mummified bodies of their loved ones to clean them up, dress them in new clothes, and bury them again. The ceremony, celebrated by all the families in the village, is a key element in their belief system, which combines Christian and indigenous concepts. The idea behind it all is that death is not the end of a person’s life, but rather another step (a very important one) in a long, spiritual life. For this reason, every detail of a person’s death, burial, and afterlife must be carefully seen to, and family members spare no expenses in fulfilling their duties. The resulting ceremonies are so lavish and complex that tourists go from all over the world to witness them.
