How does that make the vedas different from the Buddhist scriptures?
The Vedas are ancient Hindu sacred texts centered around rituals and hymns, while Buddhist scriptures focus on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha) on the nature of suffering and the path to enlightenment.

What are Buddhist death rituals?
Buddhist death rituals vary in different cultures. The concept that informs various rituals is that of compassion. Tibetan and Indian Buddhists practice sky burials, in which the body is cut up and fed to vultures, as it is helpful to the vultures, and after death there is no significance to the body. At the time of death it is thought to be helpful to encourage the dying person ot have a peaceful frame of mind, and to be familiar with the transformations they are about to go through on the path to rebirth. Another Answer: Usually there are no strict death rituals in Sri Lanka,bcz after the death your body is not significant.You can take your funeral as you wish.But usually Buddhist monks will come to your home and chant Budda's Dhamma(Teachings).

What rituals are in place for Buddhism?
The Buddha was against rituals so there are very few rituals for Buddhists. There are some for becoming a Buddhist (which is not necessary) and becoming a Monk or Nun but they are not standard from monastery to monastery. Bowing to each other is the only other formal ritual I know of. There are lots of personnel rituals performed by some Buddhists to help them remember the Buddhas teachings, such as saying a gatha (a poem or statement of intent) before performing a task. Such as one I use before eating: "This meal, that satisfies my body, was brought to me through much suffering of many sentient beings." reminds me to be grateful to all beings and that we are all interrelated.
