Mummies Given New Clothes in Ceremony

South Sulawesi province, Indonesia - an exhumed pair of mummies are given a new set of clothes.
Referred to as Ma'nene, the ceremony is meant to pay respects to dead ancestors and honor the bonds that exist between family members, both living and dead. Indeed, many locals believe spirits of deceased ancestors are still with them. Occurring every three years, mummies are cleaned and given new clothes before being laid back in their graves.
Here, the first mummy (Piter Sampe Sambara) is around 80 years old while second (Martha Bu'ta') is some 40 years old though, apparently, some such mummies are well over 100 years.

When I dig up dead people, dress them and parade them around people are outraged and I'm called a fucking freak. When they do it it's "paying respect" because it's a "ceremony". Double standard.

the old guy was a good sport! he just stood there without complaining while posing for the camera even though they were dressing him in that cheap suit with that flamboyant shirt and tie! Also, they could at least have offered him a nice cigar and a cold beer for being cooped up in that box for all these years!

@Pirate they also made him stand there with no shoes on while that concrete was probably scorching his feet!

Rub on a little skin moisturizer and they'll look good as the day they were born.

Mommy mommy, can I play with Grandpa? Shutup kid, you've already dug him up three times this week.
I guess it wasn't just a kids joke after all.

Well, in the fourth and fifth photos, the lady next to the mummy was somewhat questionable.
