A ceremony has been held which sees families dress up the corpses of their dead relatives – and even pop lit cigarettes into their mouths.
The Toraja people, of Indonesia’s mountainous South Sulawesi region, care for their loved ones long after they die.
They believe the line between life and death is part of a wider journey into the spiritual world.
It can take years for some families to save for lavish funerals and until that time, bodies can remain inside homes or in humble graves for months.
