Cleaning the Dead in Indonesia

After the funeral rites of “Rambu Solo”, the deceased are finally buried in tombs. But still they are regularly visited, cleaned and given new clothes in a ritual known as Ma’nene (“Care of Ancestors”). Datu died 35 years ago. In this picture relatives are removing the insects that covered her. (Photo by Claudio Sieber Photography/The Guardian)
