The characteristic of Tibetan funerals is that they don’t use musical instruments to mourn condolences, they don’t kneel or cry, they just bring something like bread, money, or hada. The main voice at the venue was the crowd of condolences chanting the big six-character mantra. The celestial burial platform, celestial burial master, complicated rituals and bursts of sangyan constitute a funeral method with plateau characteristics.

In primitive culture, burial was mostly used. Cremation was a criminal law (religious) to punish prisoners in the past. Cremation is more widespread in Buddhism, and it is mainly used when Shakyamuni passed away. Later, they were imitated by Buddhists. There are five types of funeral methods in Tibet: celestial burial, water burial, tower burial, tree burial, and earth burial.
