#4 -- Antique -- 120 Pictures in 2020
A little more than 100 years ago -- so the family story goes -- my Grandmother Alice and her sister, Cora -- both accomplished seamstresses -- sewed funeral dresses for a neighboring family. They were each given a platter in thanks, and this one eventually came to me.

Love's the funeral of hearts
And an ode for cruelty
When angels cry blood
On flowers of evil in bloom
The funeral of hearts
And a plea for mercy
When love is a gun
Separating me from you....
A German soldier is laid out on a carriage before his funeral. He had obviously suffered a head injury.
A funeral procession makes its chaotic way through the rice fields to where the two caskets will be laid to rest in caves in a hillside in Tana Toraja land on Sulawesi in Indonesia.
This was the final stage of the proceedings when earlier, several buffalos had been slaughtered for a great family feast.
Children accompanied the coffins, laughing and skipping, together with much shouting from the pall bearers, very unlike the solemnity of a western funeral.

During a day spent on an island, we happened upon an Animist* funeral in full swing in the village, Nioumoune. The whole village had turned out for the rituals, celebrating the life of an elderly woman who had passed the night before, though I only took a couple of pictures (for fear of being disrespectful, though there were a couple of other travellers with cameras).
The women and men were in two separate areas, the women singing and dancing, the men (below, just as a record, as it isn't a very good picture) doing a different ritual dance with sticks and spears. The body was sent on its way with various offerings of food and drink, and would apparently be buried in the village and later have a building erected above it.
I kind of liked the way this image captured the community feel, with everyone dressed up and celebrating the end of a life, babies at the heart of everything, and the teens slightly sulky at the back.

*For those who, like me, don't know but are interested, Wikipedia defines animism as a belief held in many religions around the world, rather than a religion in itself, which centres around the idea that spirits exist not only in humans but also in animals, plants, rocks or other entities of the natural environment (e.g. in thunder, mountains, rivers). Most animist systems believe that the spirit survives physical death. There are many local legends in Senegal centring on good or bad spirits inhabiting trees, snakes and so on, and the offering of food etc as part of the funeral is to do with providing sustenance and comfort for this future life.

I have mixed feelings but I am sad today as I think the middle one of us three brothers has just died. Nigel was the complete opposite of me and not only like our parents did we fight like cats and dogs he had a lifelong chip on his shoulder because I was spoilt and he was the one who got picked on and and always got nothing. True they paid for my Swiss Education, helped me buy my first house and start a little business but they continued to pay for him to live in Berlin long after he left University in Berlin. The biggest disagreement we had was over Jojo as he just couldn't accept it and nor could he take a measured rational adult approach saying I needed to go and see a doctor and when I had cancer he jumped on it and said it was a punishment, a warning and all my fault. Not surprisingly we didn't see one another again once I had become Jojo full-time as he would never take no for an answer which was a pity in a way but to put it nicely his overlong stays at my house were a mixed blessing. For all I know he might still be alive but I got one of those BT mobile to text calls the other evening and thinking it was just junk didn't press 'One' to read it, but then it started me thinking. So last night I tried to ring him in Berlin but there was no answer and I'm sure he would have been home as it was almost midnight and also there is a bus and tube strike on so no travel. As for his funeral I don't think I would want to go and besides would he want a 'tranny brother' there. So no it would be very poorly attended and in german of course and as he hasn't made a will or mentioned me in it I would not have access to his pad as he called it, to say goodbye to his little world and perhaps mention return all the little things he pinched like photographs and CD's mainly out of spite and denying it took back with him. At times he was 'the brother from hell' but strangely enough I still love him. A lot of his problems were of his own doing but autism never mind Asperger's syndrome wasn't even recognised when we grew up in the Fifties so he was always the difficult moody middle devious one. His gift in life was his art as not only did he quailfy as an architect, from a small boy he did amazing highly detailed views of cities from the sky even without knowing what was actually there and this one thing he was brilliant at became his obsession and persona. I looked up Berlin artists last night on Google and they showed masses of zany pictures by trendy daubers and the like but there was nothing about the craftsman Nigel Leach who was definately a genius in his own right and that like his solitery life is so sad. If you have gone to leave me me in peace, rest in peace, all is forgiven on both sides I now feel. Goodbye.
