Didn't get to read through all the pages, so excuse me if this was already pointed out. Looks to me that she has something contagious. Notice that the man and woman supporting her are both using a rag or something to touch her with. One on the arm, the other behind the back. Seems like they didn't want to touch her for some reason. I would say that reason is because she is dead, but that wouldn't make any sense considering the lenghts they go to "wake the dead". Just pointing it out

I'm thinking maybe leprosy or maybe it's a funeral rite, were the deceased are washed and dressed?

Curious.

Also, look at her foot at the bottom of the pic. Her entire body is this weird grayish color, but the top of her foot looks normal in color. Maybe spreading? Or an overlook in the editing/makeup

This ritual in is hard to find these days. It might hard to understand but this ritual or tradition was not only known in toraja. This ritual is not a funeral, but to bring back dead person to her home to get change all the chlotes and will send back again to her funeral.

Her tomb not under the ground but high on the cliff with hole or small cave to put the coffin and dead body. The reason why this is so hard to find these days, cuz this is a ritual for people with high status in society and rich too. This ritual will need lots of money. And the later generation start left this culture that come from old tradition, they start to wish to have common funeral. Another reason is too hard to find someone who can resurrect dead body, even if can find someone who can do this, they might not willing to do it, might cuz of commercial reason.
When a person resurrect a body like this, he must keep near to her and dont talk , no one allowed to call his name or the body will drop down.

Another ritual from this place is water buffalo fighting. People will gamble alot. There are another buffalo fighting , but the different, the buffalo ve been cut the neck, almost off. Logicaly it must be already dead but using two people who can resurrect the body, both buffalo can stand and fight until one of the guy cant resurrect it anymore.
This is the commercial reason i said before cuz this involved lots of money.

Peace

nice photoshop skills, but you forgot one important feature. Where is the womans foot, and for that, her the leg to support her LIVING self behind the "corpse" ? and im done

Looks photoshopped to me. The corpse, pose, angle, shadow, just doesn't fit into the context of the photograph. There is no question that it is a corpse. A good shop.
