The people of Sagada, Philippines follow a unique burial ritual.The elderly carve their own coffins out of hollowed logs. The dead are placed in their coffins and instead of being placed in the ground the coffins are either hung inside the caves or on the face of the cliffs near the hanging coffins of their ancestors. ...The Sagada people have been practicing such burials for over 2000 years and some of the coffins are well over a century old.
