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 rela-
tives and the guests. Finally, we installed the wooden puppet on a high balcony where other pup-
pets 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.
