I Like the guys that let their bodies be laid out in the open in this huge open topped structure to be eaten by buzzards. I think I read about it decades ago in a National Geographic.

This is all I could find with a quick Goog:

dallasnews.com

"Zoroastrianism is one of the world's oldest religions. Most remaining practitioners live in Mumbai, India. According to the tenets of the faith, the only theologically respectful way to treat the body of a loved one is to have it eaten by buzzards. (A buzzard shortage in Mumbai is currently forcing the community to consider alternative methods.)"

Myself, I'll be parted out as an organ donor. I really don't care what happens to the rest.
