Police Say Sikh Funeral Pyre May Have Broken Cremation Laws

[Guest PRITAM SINGH KHALSA]

A creamation in punjab is making a bed of wood and laying the body on top and piling logs on top of the body to when its done its all ash left and no bone.

In the western world we have a special room made to do the same thing but in a small space and without wood, just flames.

The western cremations have no smoke going out in the air, because its all concealed. In India its right out in the open like a bonfire and the smoke goes freely like with a campfire.

Heres a western cremation with a load of drama because they dont accept death as a part of life http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QN92I9AOxaM...earch=cremation

Here is a hindu cremation

Here is a Sikh cremation from india

Remember that one day you also with be ingulfed in the element of fire. So read your banis. You never know when you were predetermined to leave your body. You dont have to be old to die.

But still it makes absolutely no difference. Is the wood going to take u to the dharam raj? or your karams?

If the public dont want to smell it then it makes a difference.

What stupidity!! Why on earth do they need to have an outside cremation? Use the crematoriums for God sake that's what they are there for!!

They'll give us Sikhs an even bad name!!

I would also add that it would be stupid to roast marshmallows on it also. :|

Do Sikhs have to be cremated cant we be put in a grave

We beleive in common sense

We dont bury because its a waste of valuable green space!

After burning we quickly re-enter the carbon cycle..

No space wasting

Closed is more practical.. so why not?!
