Here, Living With Dead Bodies for Weeks-Or Years-Is Tradition | National Geographic

On the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, the Torajan people believe that a person is not truly dead until water buffalo have been sacrificed at their funeral, serving as the vehicle to the afterlife. Until that time, the bodies are may be kept at the family's home for weeks, months or years and are fed and cared for as if they were alive. Some Torajans continue their relationship with the dead through a ma'nene' ceremony, a type of "second funeral" in which families bring out their ancestors every few years and change their clothes and clean their bodies and crypts.

We rarely spoke on phone as we had an unwritten code that we would really talk on phone as it will remind us of eachother then we will feel sad, so in order not to feel sad we rarely talked on phone. Now he is gone and its still unreal to me. But at the same time I know it was his time. So I havnt properly cried yet or anything. As I'm talking about this now I feel sad but at same time, what can I do? I can't bring him back and crying will not bring him back. I miss him.

[@user-vf4gf7le9e]

I literally covered my mouth in shock when I saw the dead buffalos and after seeing them slash their throats for a slow painful death, and the people even look happy while doing it. Maybe because of the fact that our family here on the Philippines give value to our buffalos like they're pets that help in farming.
