Funeral in Tibet 
..Ever heard of a 'sky burial'..??? well, I'm guessing quite a few of you have (or maybe not). The first time I learned of this was via a documentary I snagged from the scene via digitaldistractions (damn! I miss that site [eD2k n' all that])... Kinda glad I don't remember the name of it cuz' in browsing I found this gem with awesome music.
Sit back and enjoy, sickos... FS for your 720pleasure !

I'd rather have that than be pumped with formaldehyde and buried in a hole.

@Dunblane_Truth_Seeker
burial does not even allow that. you are entombed in fluid that vastly slows decomposition plus you are sealed in an airtight casket......creepy.

The majority of Tibetans adhere to Buddhism, which teaches rebirth. There is no need to preserve the body, as it is now an empty vessel. Birds may eat it, or nature may let it decompose. So the function of the sky burial is simply to dispose the remains. In much of Tibet, the ground is too hard and rocky to dig a grave, and, due to the scarcity of fuel and timber, sky burials are often more practical than cremation. High lamas and some other dignitaries may receive burials so as to honor them in More..

Also: what an involved way to go. Since the loved ones handle the body, I would imagine this far from impersonal or barbaric.

One of the things that religion has forced on us for centuries is interment. By not allowing our body to return to the planet that gives us life in my book is a very disrespectful slap to it.
I consider Sky burial to be a very noble and honorable way to go.

@tronix93 I agree, we as humans take and consume much life on this planet, time to return the favor.

When I die I want to be cremated. Then I will request that my friends throw my ashes through a huge fan pointed at unsuspecting people.

Nothing sick about this video at all.
In fact, it is quite astounding to watch the process.
