While we were in Permuteran, we witnessed a Hindu cremation ceremony. It was a funeral where the whole village came to watch the ceremony. Firstly, the women of the family lead a procession, followed by friends and the rest of the villagers. The men of the family carried the body in a box in which the grandchild was seated. Following was an effigy of a spirit (an ox) which was burned on the funeral pyre.
