Personal highlights

1. Ngaben: extraordinary funeral ritual only practiced on Bali in Indonesia
2. Ritual: relatives carry a symbolic coffin of the deceased on their head and burn it
3. Individual: celebrating a timely Ngaben ritual for a deceased is usually too costly
4. Community: the Ngaben ritual happens only every 5 years with the entire village
5. Journey: driving overland across Bali and accidentally stumbling into the ceremony
