11. My Grandpa’s Funeral in Toraja
Last month my family and I went to Toraja to
attend Grandpa’s funeral. It was my first time to go to
such a ceremony. We gathered there with our kind in
the ceremony.
Overall, the ceremony was quite elaborate. It
took about a week. Several days before the ceremony
was done, grandpa’s body was kept in a series of
houses arranged in circular row around an open field
called tongkonan. His corpse was dressed in a fine
wearing.

12. The funeral was performed in two 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 coffin. Then, it was brought out of
the house and placed on an open platform beneath
the 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.

13. On the last day, the grandpa’s coffin were lowered
from the funeral tower and brought up to the mountainside
family graveyard. Great shouting and excitement followed
it 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 already
there.
The funeral ceremonies made my family and me
tired. However, we were grateful because it ran smoothly.
