14 JULY 2016 - UBUD, BALI, INDONESIA: A woman cleans the pavement in front of the alter that holds her family member who will be cremated in a mass cremation Saturday. Local people in Ubud exhumed the remains of family members and burned their remains in a mass cremation ceremony Wednesday. Thursday was spent preparing for Saturday's ceremony that concludes the cremation. Almost 100 people will be cremated and laid to rest in the largest mass cremation in Bali in years this week. Most of the people on Bali are Hindus. Traditional cremations in Bali are very expensive, so communities usually hold one mass cremation approximately every five years. The cremation in Ubud will conclude Saturday, with a large community ceremony. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
