i believed i watched something on tv where people in south east Asia practiced this also! not sure if it's Thailand or so!...wow, small world!

[expatleanie]

in south east asia they do this if they need to move the grave due to construction or new developments. the body is dug up as a whole with bones and re located ina new place. this is quite an important proceedure. some cultures only celebrate the re union of the deceased.

until u've seen africa u aint seen anything, all these shows make africa look dirty disgusting and poor, does any body relise that africa is a contenent with over 30 countries alone, so think of this, some countries are rich some countries are poor, when i went ghana it was beautiful with palm trees and statue and so many things i was like wow this place is beautiful, but they dont show u dat in the shows do they

What lovely people!

although I have never heard of this custom before, it did not shock me.

They have much love in their hearts and goodness in their souls.

May they and their Ancestors be an example to us all.

Watching this, I found myself surprisingly moved. In the US, death is an exclamation point and an end. In Madagascar, it seems to be just part of a continuity. If you are still loved after you are gone, it sends a powerful message to those still living that you are part of something bigger than yourself.
