Six feet under-dressed: Meet the families who dig up their dead relatives to put fresh clothes on them, have a hug... and even share a cigarette



Every August the Torja community in Panggala, Nort Toraja, South Sulawesi, re-dress their relatives' bodies (pictured bottom left), clean them (pictured bottom right), speak with them and even light them cigarettes (pictured top left). The Toraja Death Rituals are considered the biggest celebration of life by people who believe the link between life and death is infinite. The Torjan community consider death to be the most important aspect of life and often get into crippling debt from paying for funerals. The annual visit to their loved ones is considered a second funeral where they also clean or replace coffins to prevent the bodies from decomposing.
