Torajan Monoliths & Rantepao Market: Sulawesi, Indonesia
Huge monoliths were once erected at the culmination of a funeral. The ones in this field dated back to the 1600's and once again, the entire family is buried under one family monolith when each one dies.
Definitely not as interesting as the Rantepao market with coffee grinders chugging away (Starbucks uses Sulawesi coffee beans in their brews), fruits, vegetables, live and dead chickens and the ever-popular eels squirming around... That...gave me flop-sweats...
Indonesia. Toraja Funeral | Tribes & Ethnic Groups
A lot of buffalo have to be sacrificed if you are to live happily and be respected in paradise. The souls of the dead can only go to puya when the death ritual is completed.

The status of a spirit in the world beyond is the same as that of the person in this life, and so the souls of his animals must follow him into the other life. With this sacrifice the deceased will be accompanied to heaven by the souls of buffalos and pigs. The journey to puya requires strong animals because it is difficult and mountains and valleys must be crossed.
The buffalo has traditionally been the symbol of wealth and power, used even to pay for land. But the fact that so many are sacrificed in honour of the dead, in order to impress the living, has led the Indonesian government to impose limits and taxes for each animal sacrificed, as these ostentatious ceremonies end up by ruining the families.
The tensest moment in any celebration is the sharing out of the meat, and there are always disputes and even fights. What each guest receives depends on many factors. For example, if they are owed a debt, they will receive a good portion as part of the payment, the noble families that are descended directly form heaven have the right to the head, the most highly prized part, and the children receive the legs.
On the last day, in the village of Kete the atmosphere is completely different from the revelry of the first days. After three intense days of celebration, the pain and tiredness begin to show in the faces of the closest relatives.
The funeral is drawing to an end, and in just a few hours Mayanna will rest in peace, along with his ancestors, in the sacred rocks of Rantepao.
An hour later, Mayanna is taken on his final journey across the rice fields.
Mayanna’s family has reached the sacred rocks.
Right at the foot of the niche, the officiating priest says the final farewell to the dead man, reading a few paragraphs from the Bible. The majority of the Toraja are Christians, though like the Bajau, they combine their new religion with animist beliefs based on a large, complicated mythology that divides all of creation into three worlds, each one with its own god.
Mayanna has come to the end of his journey.
The coffin has been placed inside the rock, along with his most beloved belongings. Then, they seal forever the door to his new home ...and that is a funeral in the highlands of Sulawesi, the island in the shape of an orchid.

Torajan Burial Rites - Animal Offerings
buffaloes and pigs are killed to accompany the toraja's dead to the land of the ancestors
Indonesian Tribe's Traditional Funeral Rituals: Mass Buffalo Sacrifice
Following traditions that date back centuries, hundreds of buffalos are sacrificed during funeral rituals in the highlands of Indonesia's South Sulawesi province. Now an influx of new money is threatening to undermine the foundations of Toraja's riotous funeral rituals.
Our correspondent Aria Danaparamita flew to Toraja Utara to see firsthand how the district's nouveau riche are sending their relatives to the afterlife with animal sacrifices and ceremonies that eclipse even those once reserved only for royal blood.

Indonesia. Toraja Funeral (Buffalo Fight) | Tribes & Ethnic Groups
After two hours bumping along the road, the catafalque finally arrives at the place Mayanna’s family have constructed to hold the funeral ceremony.
The most surprising thing is the party atmosphere. It is difficult to imagine, especially for westerners, that we are at a funeral. But this also forms part of the ritual – the families of the dead man and his widow compete over the catafalque to demonstrate the strength of the clan.

With spirits somewhat calmer, the catafalque is taken down to transfer the coffin to the sanctuary.
Once it has been placed inside, with the head pointing west, the funeral can officially begin. From now on, and for five days, the peace of Kete will be broken as never before.
The sound of the gong marks the rhythm of the ceremony and little by little the atmosphere becomes more solemn.
Mayanna’s grandchildren line up to receive the condolences and to thank the guests for their presence. The protocol is very important and many rules have to be respected so that no one feels offended. In the background, the widows remain sitting beside the coffin, cooking food which they offer to the dead man. An invitation to visit the deceased is a real honour and it is considered impolite to say no; if you accept, you will have to ask the dead man for permission to leave, just as if he were still alive.
Each group of guests is preceded by their offerings. This is the perfect time to demonstrate how well you are doing in life, and there are constant exclamations at the number of animals a single individual is capable of giving, or the size of some of the pigs, like this one – it is all ten men can do to get it out of the van.
The quality of the gifts is inspected and duly registered. In the past, they would be simply etched in the memories of the old people, but today every detail is carefully written down.
The most appreciated, without a doubt, are the albino buffalos, which here are called Tedong Bonga and can cost over two hundred thousand pesetas, a fortune if we consider that the average salary of a civil servant is scarcely fifteen thousand pesetas a month. Funerals are a good occasion to settle certain debts. In Tana Toraja, a gift received now is seen as a debt that must be paid back later. The gifts the deceased’s family receives will have to be repaid in the future by attending other funerals for years to come.
Once the guests have been shown to their places, one of the highlights will begin – the buffalo fight.
The Toraja people are proud to test the bravery of the buffalos, and demonstrate that the deceased will be accompanied to heaven by such powerful and courageous animals.
The second day of the funeral is coming to an end. Mayanna’s family is very happy with the gifts they have received, and it is time to repay the guests for their generosity. The young women hand out honey cakes, tea, coffee, rice and palm wine.
