How a father who died 12 years ago still lives with his family
** This video contains scenes some viewers may find disturbing **
In the Tana Toraja region of Sulawesi, Indonesia, the dead share the space with the living. Mamak Lisa is a Torajan, and explains to presenter Sahar Zand that her father's corpse is still kept in the house, to give the family time to grieve and save up for the funeral. 'If we bury him straight away, we'd feel the pain very suddenly.'
