Hindus are usually not buried. In the Hindu religion, fire is considered a sacred gateway to the spiritual world. Cremation of the body has to occur and within six hours of the person's death. -------------- However, little children and sannyasis are buried in Hindu burial grounds. The belief is that cremation is a form of detachment from the material body (since it is burnt down the soul wont have any attachment to it and hence can be freed). But, for children, since they have not lived long enough, the soul has not developed an attachment yet and for sannyasis, they have already detached themselves.
