Village digs up corpses of relatives for ritual [PHOTOS]

Na wa oooo....By this time every three years, the people of Toraja village in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, embark on a bizarre ritual of digging up the corpses of loved ones and give them makeovers in an event called the ‘Ceremony of Cleaning Corpses.’ The ceremony involves exhuming even the skeletons of children; fixing damaged coffins or replacing them before the dead bodies are led around the area by following a path of straight lines during the ritual.
A 32-year-old young man, Herman Tandi, dug up the skeletons of his grandparents, Jesaya Tandibua and Yakolina Namanda, that were buried four years ago, brushed their hair and wore them wedding suits. 

Another family dug up the skeleton of their relative, an army veteran buried over ten years now, dressed him in army uniform for the ceremony also known as Ma’nene ritual before taking ‘family’ pictures with him. 
In another family, the skeleton of Paul Sampe Lumba, who has been dead for seven years, was dressed on eyeglasses, a tie and a striped blazer so he could look good in the family photo while Ne’Tampo, who has been dead for 30 years receives his own makeover.
The villagers have an ancient belief that a person’s spirit must return to their place of origin so the more they go to the morgue, the better.
