Cremations

Next to the river at Pashupatinath they cremate their loved ones.
This is very different from our culture since we either bury the whole body at a graveyard or cremate it in a special building with no people except the personnel presence.
You rarely talk about death in Sweden. It's huge and scary and not a part of life as it should be.
Yesterday almost every space was occupied with a cremation and the smoke was heavy over the river.
Here is the closest cremation to the place where we stood on a bridge. The man in white is responsible for the fire and to make sure the dried grass on top covers the body at all times.

Here you can see all the fires on this side of the bridge.

There was one family saying Good Bye for the last time.
