A raised platform used for cremation is called a "funeral pyre." Traditionally made of wood, it serves as a dedicated space where the body is placed for cremation, often in a ceremonial context. Funeral pyres are commonly associated with various cultural and religious practices, particularly in Hindu traditions, where they are used to facilitate the release of the soul. The pyre is typically set ablaze, allowing the body to be consumed by fire.
