The Birthplace of Father Burgos - now the Museum

This is the ancestral house/birthplace of Padre Jose Burgos.

The Coffin and the Death Chair

The Death Chair is used for placing the corpse at the ancestral place to disintegrate and later the bones will be collected and a prayer made..

You might wonder how come the Coffin is so small - actually the body of the death is wrapped up like a mummy in a squatting position and placed into this little coffin.
