Funeral Traditions of Different Regions in the Philippines
(Sammy) (differences and similariteis in each) (show common points) Luzon Apayao The Apayao people wrap the deceased person in a mat and is then carried on the shoulders of the person's immediate male family members. Items such as water jars, spears, and shields are typically placed in the coffin to help protect the person in their journey to the afterlife. The coffin is then lowered into the kitchen site of their home, or a seperate family-owned part of land. Benguet The deceased person is blindfolded, and the people of the Benguet village then sit at the main entrance to their house for eight straight days. The arms and legs of the deceased are tied together in a sitting position, and is then directed towards heaven by a chant given by an elder and the clapping of bamboo sticks. Cavite The deceased person is buried vertically in a hollowed out tree that is previously chosen by themselves. Sometimes, the person is also put into a sarcophagus in the tree trunk if they are of higher social status. Llocos The wife of the deceased person prepares the body with specially chosen clothes by herself, and is placed in a coffin in the center of the house when done. A wood log is then lit in the front of the house and is burned during the entire wake, and is completed by all the family members washing their hair with a special shampoo. Palaweno The most popular forms of burial is through burial jars, known as Manunggul jars. These jars are said to ease the process of the deceased persons journey to the afterlife, and protects them during it due to the symbols all around the jar. Sagada The people of Sagada hang the deceased persons coffin from mountain cliffs in order to bring them closer to heaven and ease the journey. Ifugao The Ifugao people practice Bogwa, which is the practice of exhuming the bones of the deceased person, cleaning and rewrapping them, and then returning them to the grave.
