There is something very interesting and
unique to be found in the village of Trunyan which is situated on the edge of
Lake Batur. The village is famous for its distinctive
funeral custom, in which the corpse is placed on the ground and allowed to rot.
In other places in Bali, the corpse is either buried or cremated, but in
Trunyan rather than this conventional process of burial,
the corpses are covered only by a few strands of cloth and then simply placed
onto the earth after which they are covered with woven bamboo and protected only by a temporary fence of pointed bamboo sticks are then allowed to decompose. Surprisingly, the scent of decay does
not seem to spread at all.

This tradition of burial is called Sema Wayah
and is intended only for people who have died of natural causes. For unnatural
deaths (meaning death by misadventure or accident), the corpses are taken to
Sema Brantas while babies are buried in Sema Muda. Locals have their own
distinct methods for determining which graveyard is the correct one.Read more on
