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.
