Our friend Nazar from Indonesia shares about the Death Ceremony held in Toraja. He is a very educated and helpful person.
The Torajans are an ethnic group indigenous to a mountainous region of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. They are known for their extensive death ceremonies which tend to be a lot different from our own rituals and even other Indonesian death rituals. Respecting and celebrating the dead don’t just mean giving them a proper burial – it also means living with them, long after their deaths and even past their funerals.
