It does look different. Some natives here put the remains of their loved ones in such a manner, too. They are hanging coffins in Sagada. Image Credit: hapipaks.files.wordpress.com

Has it ever happened that the coffin that was about to be put into the tomb's cave had fallen from a height? It must be really scary.
