Found something on Tibetian Sky Burial
From Wikipedia "Sky burial or ritual
dissection was once a common funerary practice in Tibet
wherein a human corpse is cut in specific locations and placed on a
mountaintop, exposing it to the elements or the mahabhuta and animals – especially to birds
of prey. The location of the sky burial preparation and place
of execution are understood in the Vajrayana traditions as charnel grounds. In Tibet the practice is known
as jhator (Tibetan: བྱ་གཏོར་; Wylie: bya gtor), which literally means,
"giving alms to the birds.""
This burial practice is in line with Buddhist belief of the
impermanence of life. The dead human body is nothing but a empty
vessel, empty shell.
