Woman’s Corpse Made To Stand At Her Funeral by Elochukwu007: 8:21am On Nov 28, 2019
Many social media users have been left stupefied after the photo of a woman’s corpse standing at her own funeral surfaced online.

The image was shared by a Twitter user who goes by the handle @Stravensky7. Sharing the image of the corpse, he captioned.
“This lady passed away and they have her body standing up at her #funeral. May look odd but this shows some real improvements”

While this may seem strange to many, it is worthy of note that there are many strange odd burial customs and traditions from around the world.
Take the Torajans people who live in the mountains of Sulawesi in Indonesia for instance, they treat their beloved relatives as if they are sick and not dead. In Toraja, it is customary to feed the deceased every day and to keep the corpses cozily bedded in a separate room of the family house until the family can afford a proper funeral.
After the funeral rites of “Rambu Solo”, the deceased are finally buried in tombs. But still they are regularly visited, cleaned and given new clothes in a ritual known as Ma’nene (‘Care of Ancestors’).
On the island of Kiribati, the deceased is laid out in their house for no less than three days and as long as twelve, depending on their status in the community. Friends and relatives make a pudding from the root of a local plant as an offering.
