16 JULY 2016 - UBUD, BALI, INDONESIA: Women carry offerings to the waiting sarcophagi during the mass cremation ceremony in Ubud. Local people in Ubud exhumed the remains of family members and burned their remains in a mass cremation ceremony Wednesday. Almost 100 people were 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.
