[[Balinese people|Balinese]] Hindu dead are generally buried inside the container for a period of time, which may exceed one [[month]] or more, so that the cremation ceremony ([[Ngaben]]) can occur on an auspicious day in the [[Balinese people|Balinese]]-[[Javanese people|Javanese]] [[Calendar]] system ("[[Saka calendar|Saka]]"). Additionally, if the departed was a court servant, member of the court or minor [[Nobility|noble]], the cremation can be postponed up to several years to coincide with the cremation of their [[Prince]]. Balinese funerals are very expensive and the body may be interred until the family can afford it or until there is a group funeral planned by the village or family when costs will be less. The purpose of burying the corpse is for the [[Decomposition|decay]] process to consume the [[fluid]]s of the corpse, which allows for an easier, more rapid and more complete cremation.
