An Indonesian Island in which trees absorb dead babies

An Indonesian Island in which trees absorb dead babiesOn the Indonesian island Tana Toraja, if a baby dies before he starts
 teething, the family cuts a hole in a tree and places the dead child 
inside.
 The tree regrows around the baby and absorbs it.The image shows a 
baby grave tree located in Tana Toraja. A local guide explains this 
conduct by saying that they bury the babies in the trees so the wind can
 waft away their souls.
 This tribe has a different way of looking at life and death. Funerals 
can last up to a week and they’re one of the main events in their 
calendar. They dress in bright colors and dance merrily while they tell 
the life-story of the deceased. (Source 1, Source 2)
