Burn them ALL I say ;-)

But seriously I think that they are burnt on pyres AND then the ashes and remains are buried in the earth.
The ashes are collected in urns and are buried in an Ernalda sacred burial mound or field.

BTW does anybody else think that Calamity Jane on the television programme 'Deadwood' would make a very good Vingan? Definately how I see them [although swords instead of colt revolvers]. Just a thought.
