Answer 2

When one dies they are taken to the desert and placed in a dakhma (a cement bowl shaped apparatus with a small hole in the middle) this is were the person is left to the elements and nature where eventually the bones of the person are swept into the centre of this object. They act can only be prepared by a person not of the Zoroastrianism faith.
