Well it was organized by my Thai wife for my friend, Day One body arrived at the temple early morning, coffin put on display, her and friends sweep out the area, and put out the chairs inside and out, food was cooked also by friends of my wife, after the Monks had eaten there breakfast elsewhere and of course cooked for them, they Sauntered over sat on the 'stage' and played with some string to keep out the evil spirits, chanted for a bit, wandered over to the coffin with paper flowers, then sat down Again. We ate.
Day 2 a bit more chanting, then coffin put on a trolley and pushed over to the oven area, three times around the oven then loaded in by 'rescue workers' then covered in oil, and set on fire.
Day 3 remove the cooled bones and smash them up, put in a cloth and taken out to the sea.
Just to add there was only 3 other falang there, the rest were Thai that were friends of my wife, and came because he was also a friend of hers, even though some had never met him, the moral support was appreciated by me.
