Trashy Religion?? Are you crazy? Hindus are very loving people. We should respect all faiths that are based upon love and peace.

We should be respectful all cultures. Whether or not we believe in what they are doing, only through love can we win others over to the truth.

Ok... you people are getting ridiculous. I'm a Christian and I believe that we ought to respect one another. It's a person's funeral not a fair. Show some dignity... and let me tell you something, the ONLY way you can preach to a person is by respecting their culture... disrespecting them will get you NO WHERE.

@ozonclub Respect a human body how? By embalming it, caking it in make-up, dressing it in Gucci, putting it in a ten thousand dollar coffin, and burying it? Should they cut it up first before cremation? These people are very respectful, and they don't view death as an anomaly, unlike Western culture, where the majority of people are afraid of death. This is how I would choose my empty form to be cremated, on a pyre just like this. It's beautiful.

@ozonclub For anyone with this particular way of thinking: This is paying respect to the dead in Hindu culture, thus, not more of a sad ending compared to how the body is treated in any other culture after death. It is very, very rude and beyond ignorance to judge from a fixed point of view, even so after considering the fact that fire is considered to be purifier in many western cultures.

we shouldn't judge other religion based on what they believed.. like we don't like to be judge by other religion.. we should respect each other religion and their faiths..

@ozonclub For Hindus, this is respecting the dead. All Hindus are cremated, and their ashes are put ideally into the Ganges River. There are many rituals and customs that go with it.

a) What language were they speaking? Does not sound like Nepalese. b) One of the sons was actually smoking in front of the pyre. That was strange. c) Seems like a VIP of some sort with lots of pictures being taken.

Such a sad ending... You should respect a human body even after death.. not just burn it whole :S
