HANGING COFFINS OF SAGADA AND THE BO PEOPLE.
Not content with being buried in the ground the people of Sagada in the Philippines and the Bo people of southern China choose instead to put their deceased into handmade wooden coffins and suspending them from limestone cliffs. Gongxian County of southwest China’s Sichuan province is known as China’s natural museum of hanging coffins or the ‘Hanging Coffins of Bo People’ , with nearly 300 well-preserved coffins remaining. Hanging coffins was the most common form of burial in ancient southern China but it is not done any longer . In the Philippines on the Cliffs of Sagada, hundreds of coffins are suspended on the mountain. Mountains were always held as sacred places and it was said that the hanging coffins would bring them closer to heaven and could prevent bodies from being taken by beasts .
