Hello to Everyone,

 

I understand that the Sikh tradition has an inclusive outlook on death and

that they do not see this process as outside of life nor something that

should be feared or rejected. How is this reflected in their funeral

ceremonies? Has Yogi Bhajan ever outlined or recommended a particular

tradition in regard to the burial ceremony? Are there any differences between

practices here in America and in India?

They are a celebration of the life lived.

Maybe, I don't know. But the body is supposed to be cremeated. This is very

important as the body must go back to the earth before the soul can be

liberated.
