Muslim And Toraajan Funerals

In comparison to Torajan funerals, Haitian, Hindu and Muslim funerals all have certain traditions that have to be adhered to. For all populations, these traditions date back for centuries and even though some may seem strange to others, they are the way that their funerals are meant to be held.

They are either not allowed to touch the body of the deceased or they had to sit in a completely different area away from the body while the funeral was in session. I also noticed a difference
