Funeral Ceremony in Bali - Bathed and Buried






















When someone dies in Bali, the main thing to do is select the day and date according to Balinese calendar for a funeral. For someone who has a lot of funds that they will soon establish Ngaben / cremation only privately among the family. but for families with limited money will do Ngaben mass / mass cremation once every 5-10 years, because it will save on costs because it is done jointly by a village resident. Therefore, if there is a family who died, usually they will be buried in advance to wait Ngaben mass at the appointed time.

The corpse is washed and given a spice and perfume.
Nails of the dead body are cleaned by symbolical.
And the last is dressed with traditional clothes before moved into the coffin and buried for several years before it dig back and cremated.
