first the skin over their eyes is removed and placed into a jar to symbolize eternal foresight. the body is then placed in a ritual oven where it is burned until the flesh is nothing but ash. the bones are used as animal bones would be (tools etc.). The family of the diseased rubs the ash on their faces over the course of a week unitl no ashes remain
