Sky burial was once a common funerary practice in Tibet wherein a human corpse is cut in specific locations and placed on a mountaintop, exposing it to the elements or the mahabhuta and animals – especially to birds of prey.

In Tibet the practice is known as jhator, which literally means, “giving alms to the birds.”
