Hindu Funeral believes in reincarnation and that the soul is reborn. The soul continues to live on depending on their karma or actions of their past lives.

About Hindu Funerals
Hindu Funeral is based on Hinduism belief that life and death are part of the concept of Samsara (or rebirth).

Hindu funeral places importance in reincarnation – where the physical boy is no longer around but the soul continues to live on and is reborn into another life. Hindu funeral service rituals may vary between sects and subsects however the core principles and rituals are probably still the same.

[r]Hindu funeral rites and rituals can vary depending on the religion, family traditions, and where the dead person’s family is situated.[r]

For Hindu funerals usually cremation is the practice. According to Hindu death rituals they remain at home when a person dies before being taken to the cremation site.

Bro, wanna ask.. during festive not sure deepavali or satu lagi yg ada cucuk tounge with arrow etc, is it true those people don’t feel any pain because of summoning a spirit?

Hindu practice in Malaysia is the same as Hindu practiced in India / Indonesia ?

which "sacred bodies of water" usually hindus here scatter the ashes?

dont wanna accidentally swim in some place ashes are scattered before

Hinduism or indianism ? Cos all u stated is cultural believes that’s why so many customs according to which kind of Indian u are. I’ve ever seen a live chicken foot being cut and put on the forehead before body cremated cos it’s was on a Friday. Wild bro!

Any river, water fall or sea where water is flowing.

River, Beach.
