Hanging coffins



part one of the Discovery channel program on the Haning coffins of the Bo, a Chinese minority.

why did they hang the coffins on  a cliff? and why do folks in some areas of the Philippine and Indonesia hang their dead in cliffs?

Then there is this at wikipedia:


The Bo people dominated their area for some four centuries, but were massacred by the Ming army and were thought to be extinct. However, some descendants of the Bo were found in 2005 in Xingwen County, Sichuan.[2][3][4][5
