The Balinese marriage ceremony is no less complex, preceded by engagement of mepadik, the couple put on a false elopement and are supported by a group of accomplices, who protect the couple during their honeymoon. After three day they are considered man and wife. The ploy is a serious one as the girl’s parents may be furious and refuse their blessing.

Not all corpses are cremated immediately, as some wait for an auspicious day, a collective ceremony or until they have enough money to perform the rites. The cremation ritual is a reminder of the cosmic symbolism of life. The tower is a duplicate of the cosmos; the corpses is put in the middle, the human word. The sarcophagus, in which the body is burned is a vehicle to take the soul away.
The ashes are collected and taken to the sea where the soul is cleansed. It is here that the soul passes thought hell to be tortured and cleansed. The soul is then called back on shore and eventually taken back to the mother mountain Gunung Agung, in a big ceremony. The soul is then enshrined in the family temples and the dead is now an ancestor, until the next incarnation.
