My Grandpa's Funeral in Toraja

Last month my family and I went to Toraja attend Granpa's funeral. It was my first time to go to such a ceremony. We gathered there with our kin in the ceremony.

Overall, the ceremony was quite elaborate. It took about a week. Several days before the cere-mony was done, grandpa's body was kept in a series of houses arranged in a circular row arround

an open field called “Tongkonan”. His corpse was dressed in a fine wearing.

The funeral was performed in thow phases. First, we slaughtered the pigs and buffaloes, and then moved the corpse to face north. In this ceremony we wore black clothes. After that, the corpse was placed in a sandal wood coffing. Then, it was brought out of the house and placed on an open platform beneath a granary. Meanwhile, my uncle, my brother, and I prepared the

wooden puppet and a funeral tower called lakian_{. The next phase of the ceremony was held in this}

place. The coffin is borne from the house and placed in the lakian_{. During the day, there were also}

buffalo matches. They were great matches. In the night, we were feasting, chanting, and dancing. On the last day, the Granpa's Coffin were lowered from the funeral tower and brought up to the mountain side family graveyard. It was followed by great shouting and excitement from the relatives and the guests. Finally, we installed the wooden puppet on a high balcony where other puppets representing the members of a whole family were alrealdy there.

The funeral ceremonies made my family and me tired. However, we were grateful because it ran smoothly.
