By Robert and Jack, we'd like to know on the first day in Bali, we were on the Cremation Ceremony of the brother of a the 8 Balinese kings were invited. Robert and Jack should shoot, we could see ... and finally attend one of the so famous Balinese funeral ceremonies. We could go even in the Grand Palace in Denpasar, meet a prince and the preparations we looked at, before it went off magnificently. Over one hundred women and men had come to the palace to pay respect to the body of their last respects. From each family from the village of the royal family have a woman and a man to attend the ceremony (all in the same outfit, women in gray-blue, see picture), but in separate these groups and with different functions. may 
in Bali such Ceremonies take place not in the rainy season, so it is only every 6 months, a period of several weeks in which the bodies may be burned. This 3rd September was the last day of the current period, it was about time. One dies thus at some time between periods, the body is first buried and then dug up again later for cremation. 
On such a ceremony, the corpse is carried in a long train of people from the house to the cremation ground. But of course not just like that, but in the following order: first the band and 4 young costumed princesses each on a chair. Here are some gifts that worn by women. Then comes a great dyed black bull made of paper and wood, on which rides a young
. This is supported including rack of about 30 men. It follows a group of dancers in black and white Kleidung.Und suggest then the body follows in a large, throne-like structure with wings that had to be carried by 50 men determined in layers. Often, they stumbled and seemed to break under the weight fast. Since this structure is so high, running from 
These 2 men whose only job is to shut with any cables or phone lines, which could collide with the throne, zuheben out of their way. Anywhere between the said train parts, there are members who Family and friends and of course the streets are lined with hundreds of curious spectators. The whole thing is moving in a monkey pace, we actually ran the whole time and tried connecting to keep the train and Kathi had to sacrifice even a shoe. Yes, so fast a. .. We therefore also briefly mourned by 
their flip-flop, but she heroically ran barefoot. After about 3 km we came to the dusty "cemetery" and it has started to fire the cops on the later to place. This is then cut open and placed the corpse in the back of the bull. Now the corpse "unpacked" so that you can see mainly the gray feet and there are several washings and ceremonies. Overall, however, there is more of a 
casual atmosphere, you talk to, drinking water and no one is really sad. After a while the fire is lit, the body falls into the body of the bull and is burning in front of him. Clothes and important items of the deceased are burned and it shall be given him with another on the road. Meanwhile, playing the 
band and the dancers perform traditional dances before the family and the four princesses. The first people to go to catch ... The last to go when the family leaves the place of burial. The ashes are later collected together and scattered in the sea, as on Bali is common.
