Fire burials
– Bali According to Hindu tradition, the dead in Bali are interred in a mass grave with others from the same village. As soon as the community feels the grave is full enough to warrant it, previously buried bodies are unearthed, cleaned, and arranged on a parade float that is decorated extravagantly. The float heads through the village to the town square, where it is set on fire and a feast held to commemorate the deceased.
