Monk Balls and a cute little Crematorium

At Thamkrabok monastery It is said that some dead monks were placed in these balls and hot lava was poured in after them, then sealed. - At the end of time the last monk standing should smash the balls open with a sledge hammer to free the spirits.... they have their own way here at Thamkrabok.

Although I think this cute little crematorium pictured below is the preferred method to deal with dead bodies or at least the most common.
