Thread Name: Hindu wins UK funeral pyre battle
Subject: RE: Hindu wins UK funeral pyre battle
I have visions of a local Tibetan having his body exposed in a London park for the birds to carry off piecemeal. An extreme, I know. Babbling. Sorry.
But when I was in Tibet, an American tourist died - an older lady. Her family was given the option of a cremation in China or exposure on a mountain in Tibet. They chose cremation.
I hope my family would have known I would prefer exposure.
