Don't they also take their dead down once a year to clean them up, put new clothes onto their corpses, and sit them down with the family for a special dinner, before placing their bodies back into those caskets?
The Igorots, an indigenous tribe in the Philippines, bury their dead in "hanging coffins" attached to the sides of cliffs. Spiritually, by placing the coffins up high the deceased would be closer to heaven (Photo: Simon Gibson)pic.twitter.com/GpEvmkubmU

The “Ifugao” tribe performs the ritual known as Bogwa, the practice of exhuming the bones of the dead, cleaning and rewrapping them after a year.
-
Is that the group that sits the dead at the table for dinner once a year with new clothes?
-
No, they don’t sit the dead at the tables. After 3 days, the bones are returned to the graves

Oh okay! LOL I had to google the tribe/people who did do that and they are located in Indonesia here's a link

In Indonesia, a cave burial site in Lo’ko Mata Toraja, South Sulawesi. The Torajan's ancient traditions involve funerary customs that have been practiced over many centuries and are known to be the most complex funeral traditions in the world, and known living among the death.pic.twitter.com/4v5p4wT7zr

This is strange but fascinating I seen the video on YouTube where they exume the dead dress them and feed them. It's not for the weak stomach to watch :0

Doesn’t look closer to heaven. It looks like hell to me.

These Igorots must be very sinful as none of them make it into heaven, and this is the closest they can get to it.
