A strange tradition on the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia, has existed since 1905 - every 3 years to dig up the corpses of relatives.
For residents, such a ceremony is very important, because in this way they show their relatives their love and respect. Washing and dressing the deceased in new clothes does not end! But what about contests with whom the relative is more beautifully dressed? Photos for memory and sit in a home circle …
Repairing the coffin is a must to keep the bodies from decaying. The inhabitants of the island save money all their lives for their funeral, and if there is not enough money, relatives can bury the deceased in a few years!

Locals believe that death is not the end of the life cycle and the spirit always returns to its native village. If a person dies far beyond the borders, relatives try to return him to his homeland.
