Hindus believe that dying at the Ganges, a sacred place, will release them from the cycle of reincarnation.
According to Hinduism river Ganges is very pure and sacred. If you die in river Ganges you will certainly meet the creator and than your fate will depend on your karmas.
ganges is very holy river according to Hindu Mythology. Thus one may assume that it will be very good death & whoever dies will directly go to heaven. Not sure though.
Varanasi, or Benares, is known as the Holy City to Hindus. It is the home of the Holy River, the Ganges which is said to be the hair of Lord Shiva. Overall, it is the holiest place in Hinduism.
Hindus, Buddhists and Sikhs believe in reincarnation.
According to my knowledge there is no special belief. A popular belief would be that funeral isn't done so it might be considered unfortunate death.

People of Hinduism believe that after they die, they are rewarded or punished according to their deeds. Hindu believe in The Law of Cause and Effect (karma) .
You become a giraffe. The theist hindus do believe that depending upon one's actions (karmas), one could be reborn as a giraffe. Hindus believe that all living beings have souls. However, not all hindus believe in the theory of 'karma'. I am a Hindu atheist. I believe that with death my personality and consciousness will cease, and the atoms that make up my body will be released and form new associations with a million of things, some living, others non-living.
Hindus, as the universal truth also goes, man is mortal. A living being born has to die. Hindus believe that soul is imperishable and immortal but the body perishes with death. After death the soul changes into a new body and that is the theory of rebirth. It is just like a change of dress from one birth to another.
Moral behaviour is important to hindus beacause there is karma. Karma is the deeds done in before we die. So they believe that if we have a good moral behaviour then we will be reborn in an higher level or have a good after life.
