Mummies get dressed up as part of Ma'nene ritual in Indonesia

The dead get all dolled up during the traditional Ma'nene ritual in Indonesia, where family members dig up their deceased loved ones and dress them up in a brand new set of clothing. Held once every three years, the traditional ceremony is a chance for relatives to honor the spirits of their mummified ancestors. Sweet, or creepy? You be the judge.
