"Rand Pack" is interested in "Funeral" in the local language, and people have completely unfamiliar with the concept of "death", and they have never "died" in their vocabulary, "sick" and other words, the most young grandmother in the village · Badi Pan Garrot, when the other people saw others, there was no one in the village crying, only the bamboo pipes in the wizards made a sad mourning. People gently put her body in a hull sandalwood coffin in the main house, and brought palm wine, but the broccoli spices smoked cigarettes, guarded next to it. The villagers have a daily life, and they come here to eat and drink, and there is often a burst of laughter around the coffin. This is the highest expensive family, why is you so much after you have a lofty prestigious? In fact, the villagers have no lightweight for the elders who are highly expected. There is no concept of death in the consciousness of the villagers, and people are dead, they are considered "sick."

The "patient" was preserved for a long time after formaldehyde, until the holiday ceremony celebrated the soul, "patient" was placed in the stone hole on the cliff with his wooden statue, which truly entered the "heaven".

Local artisters can be made with a "patient" in stock to make a shape of the wooden Bolo statue to symbolize the eternal life; and the wooden cattle will lead "patient" to the sacred place as the first sacrifice. Of course, the number of sacrifices, statue quality, and the scale of the ceremony are completely dependent on the social status and prestige of patients. Announcement like Badi is airable to enjoy the highest level treatment.
in Sulawesi, almost all funerals will work with Buffalo. In the rice field, the cowhoe is light and the cattle of the cattle, the neck, infinitely tenderly for them, feeding the blue grass. How happy and harmonious scene! However, after the sacrifice ceremony begins, the cowhoe holds the big machete knife on the back, and slowly takes the knife from the yarn cage (the local people's clothing), the knife tips are upright, stand upright. Just listening to it, the big machete embedded into the cownery, and the cow neck artery was cut off, and the phenomenon was suddenly fell to the ground, and the blood spurted. After pulling the knife ax, the warm livestock in an instant is four minutes. The internal organs are left to "patient", and the headshot of the water is given to the family and the junior. It is said that the moment of the first buffalo on the sacrifice is the exact moment of the soul from the human body, "patient" to the other ultimate world. According to the provision of the phase, this cow must be a "white cow" that is ablated. After the festival, thousands of people jumped into circles, and they sent a burst of whistle. People are sitting on the open space and the air of the pig, starting to drink, big mouth swallowing various foods, so the celebration of religious colors should last for five nights overnight.
Badi's human life has passed away, and she is about to start her happiness "paradise" life. The mighty people have a luxurious boat trip, through the rice fields, jungle, and go to the sacred mountain peaks outside the km. To climb the top of the mountain, people use the rope to hang the coffin from the journey, and use the people, stepping on the Cave of the Candid Travel to the Cliff, and the cave of the statue of the Pan Garo family member statue. In a scream, Badi's Lingshu was suspended by a kraft with a cave placed on the rock wall, with its ancestral branches. People will continue to come to worship in the future. Because Badi is still "live". In another wonderful world, Badi who turned into goddess, doubled these devout believers.
