According to Sanatan Dharma, the body is burnt after death. According to religious belief, the human body is made up of five elements such as fire, water, earth, sky and air. It is believed that after death the body should be freed from the soul. Apart from this, it is believed that by burning the dead body of a person, his body gets mixed with the five elements, due to which he becomes a part of nature again. For this reason, people are cremated after death. It is not necessary to perform the cremation of every person. This rule changes in some special circumstances.
Even in Hindu religion, some people are not cremated after their death.

According to the scriptures, after the death of children, pregnant women and saints, the dead body is buried instead of burning. Let us know what is the reason behind this rule.
