Zoroastrian, Baha'i and Tibetan Funerary Rites

Funerary rites of traditions that avoid burial or have no priest to perform it: the Zoroastrian exposure of the dead in a dakhma, the Tibetan Buddhist sky burial and the Baha'i funeral with its required prayer and burial within an hour of travel. A ritual belongs here when its cited article describes the funeral practice of one of these three traditions. It excludes the Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Islamic and Jewish funerary groups.
