Raising of Dead Biological Bodies

[Justtristo]

I thought local burial practice were dictated by the soil type and availability of someone to actually 'bury' said corpse. The whole "exposing the corpse to be picked clean" is reminiscent of Hindu and MesoAmerican practices that I have read about..I could be wrong though :S

I think the Zoroastrian funeral practices are changing.

Hindus cremate their dead often on funeral pyres, interesting enough I find Hindu views on the afterlife quite interesting. Since after we die the atomic particles we are composed of still exist. However they end up in different stuff (kinda of like reincarnation).
