Madagascar MARRIAGES

Antyesti or Hindu funeral rites,
also referred to as Antim Sanskar,
is an important Sanskara,
sacrament of Hindu society.
Extensive texts of such rites are available,
particularly in the Garuda Purana.
There is wide inconsistency in theory and practice,
and the procedures differ from place to place.
Further, these rites also differ depending on the caste,
jāti, social group, and the status of the deceased
person.
11
indiandeathceremony
 In the Indian subcontinent, human bodies were either exposed to the
elements of nature, and to the birds, or buried in the earth, in a river,
and sometimes a cave or an urn[citation needed]. Centuries later,
cremation became the usual mode of disposal of the dead bodies, with
certain exceptions – the exceptions being bodies of infants[citation
needed], yogis, sadhus, and a few others. Cremation became popular
due to the Hindu concept of detachment of soul from the body at the
time of death, and the transmigration of the soul from one body to
another
12
Madagascar :
Famadihana is a funerary tradition of
the Malagasy people in Madagascar. Known as the turning of
the bones, people bring forth the bodies of their ancestors from
the family crypts and rewrap them in fresh cloth, then dance
with the corpses around the tomb to live music
Madagascar's dance with the dead
To outsiders dancing with the corpse of a dead loved one, years after
their demise, might seem ghoulish. But as Jonny Hogg reports, to the
people of Madagascar, it is a ritual of respect for their departed
ancestors.

14
Every five to ten years, it is the custom for many
Malagasy families to exhume their deceased
relatives, wrap them in new shrouds, and dance
with their bodies before returning them to ancestral
crypts. The ceremonies of famadihana take place in
winter as some believe that the dead are cold, so
need new shrouds. Deceased ancestors are gone
but are always resting close by. Their tombs lie in
the backyards of family homes. Famadihana
involves huge family festivity and sumptuous
banquets of meat and rice. It is a time for the living
to meet the dead, to show respect to ancestors and
ask for their blessing.
