Hanging Coffins





The limestone cliffs over Sagada in the Philippines seem like an unlikely place for burial. In fact, many folks who died here were never buried, but are still in their coffins hanging from the cliff faces. The oldest coffin identified has been there over a hundred years, although the custom of placing coffins in barely accessible places in the cliffs goes back a couple thousand years. Residents are more likely to be buried underground today. And the last time I've seen something similar was from this China made movie titled Painted Skin...
