Cemetery at Trunyan village

Thank you for Rick Brown  and Family from Australia has been using our service during his holiday in Bali,this trip we went to Trunyan Village,located near the Batur lake,Kintamani.Lonag the way to Trunyan village ,it was wonderfull view because we drive on small road on the edge of Batur lake.Visiting Trunyan Village you need exter cost because from the village you need to get boat to the Cemetery.Most of the people who visiting Trunyan village to see cemetery.There is something speacial in this village how to buried it.


Trunyan Cemetery, accessible only by boat across Lake Batur, contains 11 bamboo cages built in the shape of triangular prisms. When a member of the village dies, their body—wrapped in white cloth with the head exposed — is placed in one of these cages. When the cages are full, the body that has been there the longest is removed to make room for the next inhabitant. The remains of the long-time resident are placed on a pile along with any other corpses that have been evicted by newcomers until all the flesh, fat, and muscle has decomposed.

When the bones are all that remain of a deceased villager, the skull is added to the growing row beneath a large Taru Menyan tree. This tree is not just decorative—the pleasant, incense-like fragrance wafting from its leaves helps neutralize the odor of the decomposing corpses.
