Hindu funerals, also known as antyesti, are centered around reincarnation and the belief that the soul is reborn in a different form. The funeral typically has three parts:
Wake or funeral: The body is placed in a casket with flowers at the feet, and family and friends gather to pray or chant
Cremation: The body is usually cremated within 24 hours of death, and the eldest son typically presides over the ceremony
Shraddha: A ceremony to help the soul of the deceased enter the next world

This content may be shocking to some. It was extremely shocking to me. That being said, I am glad that I was welcomed at this very solemn event and allowed to bring you guys my first person experience. to this public cremation. This is something that I have never seen before. CZcams has restricted the visibility of this video due to the nature of the content.
I am currently in the process of appealing their decision as I believe it's a documentary and there are many similar videos not restricted on the platform. At the meantime, I rely on you to hit that like 👍 button and to share this video to anyone who may be interested. Thanks so much for watching!
Very nice video, Ivain. The hotel looks amazing with a beautiful ocean side view. Funerals are always a sad occasion. RIP 🙏🙏🙏. Wow! I had never seen an actual cremation before. Thank you for sharing this. This is definitely a documentary worth watching. Great content, my brother. I noticed your US Marines t-shirt. I want to say thank you for your service, Ivain. I enjoyed watching. I give it three thumbs up 👍👍👍.
Thanks so much for the support! It means a lot. Yeah it was wild to watch that! It’s a very sad thing to witness. Hope alll is well on your end.
Great content Ivan. Life is fleeting indeed. Something like this really changes you because it is raw and you see the finality of it all, no hiding from where we are all heading towards. IT makes you question what really we should pursue - money or happiness or how you balance that. The one thing that is finite is time, so whether you pursue one or the other more, in your last days you have to be comfortable with how we spend the time. Its a dilemma especially when it comes to leaving comfortable high paying jobs and trying to pursue whatever you think makes you happy. Awesome work Ivan and thankful that these folks allowed you to document it all.
Ivain, thanks for sharing your experiences in Figi. Even though you're not a journalist by profession, you have captured an aspect of life of people who live there in a very professional way. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I learned a lot!!!
Thanks a lot for watching! I appreciate that. Your comment motivated me a lot. Cheers!
Thank you for sharing !!!
Thanks for watching
Awesome story Ivan something different too good you should attend a indigenous funeral 😊
Thanks for sharing this with us
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Bro Kava is our traditional drink, not only in Fiji. Some other Pacific islands also. Kava is not Alcohol. Even babies can drink it, to put them fast to sleep. Enjoy Fiji bro.🔥🔥✌🏽
Thanks so much! I appreciate that!
Even babies! Not good.
Wow, this video nailed it. Congrats and thank you for providing me insight into Indian culture
Thanks so much for watching ! I appreciate that!
Definitely need to bring someone special to that hotel. That was very similar to a Viking funeral. The body literally rises to the heavens.
Very true! Thanks a lot for watching !
Tnis is probably the best content I have seen, Extremely good explanation on teh culture. How long after the death is teh creamation?
24 hours. The cemetery workers keep the fire going. After 24 hours, it’s all done. Thanks a lot for watching! I appreciate that.
Hello Ivan, love the video ❤
Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate that!
Thanks, wish we can meet once you come to suva
Cultures are different. May the person rest in peace. 🪦 Hope u r ok 👌🏾. Life is truly short.
Indeed! Thanks so much! Still processing it. It was a tough one!
damnn!! different peopl,different culture🥶🥶
100% true! Thanks for watching!
Our culture differences are really irrelevant.
For human reality is the same everywhere.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, everywhere.
What amazing market
It really is!
Bula Ivain. Hope all is well.
Unfortunately theres really no nice beaches on the Nadi coastline and even around denarau island where the Wyndham is. Waters brownish looking coz of the sand/mud bottom - i think thats caused by 000s of years of Nadi River annual floods that pour silt into the Nadi bay area. To see really white sands, blue or torqouise waters and tonnes of coral and marine life, you have to go away from Nadi or catch a boat right there at Denarau for a day trip to one of these islands or for a few night stay at one of the island resorts.
Oh and btw, KAVA is not alcoholic ... it is narcotic and mildly hallugenic. Its narcotic properties brings out relaxation and the 'drunk' effect - and the stronger the mix, the faster it sets in. Its one of the most priced 'food' product exported out of Fiji and other pacific islands as its demanded for by pharmaceuticals for 'relaxation pills" and other stuff. These are sold even in CVS or Walgreens last i checked. And with the proliferation of Kava bars in the US and Europe. And guess what, theres an association of Kava Growers now growing Kava in Florida - much to the displeasure of Pacific island countries as we see Kava as our Traditional drink. But thats a story for another day !
Anyway, im not sure exactly when you waz in Fiji but if youre still there, do visit the capital city of Suva and i recommend the Fiji Museum, the Government Buildings, Sacred Heart Cathedral and the University of the South Pacific and possibly catch cultural dance performances by students of the 12 pacific island countries represented.
Thanks a lot for watching! I appreciate that! And the valuable information are priceless. Thanks !
Ivan they use camphor , incense and ghee ( which is clarified butter)
About the funeral it’s the Hindu ceremony ritual they prepare to cremate which is clean they collect Ashes after 3 days and the rest
What is teh significance of only men being at the body?
I don’t know why it’s like that. That’s why I asked. They said it’s just their custom.
What's the point in life i like that qoute brother ❤.
Thanks a lot for watching!
Indeed.
What's the point of this life.
Not me nor my family. And to smell burning human flesh is a big no, no.
Well you're not Hindu, so it's all good 😁
It smels the same as when you burn animals for meat.
Therefore, I personally don't eat meat for over 16 years now.
It doesn’t smell, the flame is so strong that it combusts into ashes completely. Specific woods, certain additives make it happen.
One last chance for a smoking hot body.
