A new record is about to be set in Bali – though under somewhat somber circumstances. On 15 July 2008, Puri Ubud will be the site of a cremation ceremony (Ngaben in Balinese) on a massive scale, not only in terms of the number of people attending, but the size of the funeral bier. The ‘Bade’ is a cremation tower made of bamboo, papier mache and cotton., which is used to carry the corpse to the cemetery where it is to be cremated. This particular Bade will be a towering 27 meters in height, the tallest ever to have been constructed. The Ngaben is for Tjokorda Ngurah Suyadnya, aka Cok Wah, a prince of Ubud and is set to be the biggest Bali has ever seen.
