Why wait 11-15 years? What's wrong with taking the nearest unmarked child waiting to undergo initiation and putting your life-flame into him or her? The life-flame is all that matters for spiritual identity not the fact that some infant was born when you died.

You have a funeral and the life-flame is taken from your pyre. Who is the life-flame going to be placed in? The unmarked kid attending your funeral. What background is he is she most likely to be from?
