Synopsis

Being with a discussion of Balinese death rites, noting that as Hindus, they need to be burned so their souls can leave them behind; but bonfires are expensive, so they pile the corpses of the poorer citizens in graves until a rich man dies, and then they dig them up and everyone gets cremated.
