Preparations for Royal Cremation in Ubud, Bali

Some photos taken of cremation preparations for Coq Suyasa of Puri Ubud . Ubud is planning a royal send-off for the King of Ubud and also a second member of the royal family. Look closely and you can see there are two bulls (the sarcophagi). These photos were taken July 13 and the cremation is July 15; there is still a lot of work to do.

See more on cremations going on near Ubud right now.


It takes a village...



Checking the progress


Hard at work by the palace.


This tower will carry the remains to the sarcophagus. Many people will be needed to
support it, and this is a much bigger tower than is used for people who are not royalty.



Tourists aren't the only ones taking photos. Note the Balinese man from Ubud with cameral at the lower left. These bulls are much bigger than the sarcophagi used for non-royal people.
