lol I don't wanna create a morbid topic, but how come when a loved one dies here in America we don't cremate them on a funeral pyre? Honestly crematoriums are low class and there's just a sense of something beautiful or poetic amoungst the saddness of losing a loved one when it's done on a funeral pyre.
In all honesty I've never witnessed an actual cremation on a funeral pyre but they seem really nice in the movies. I'm not sure about getting into the business of making money off funerals, but I dunno why there aren't places in America where you can be sent off in the proper Indian way.
