What is burial?
Wikipedia states: Burial, also called interment and inhumation, is the act of placing a person into the ground. This is accomplished by digging a pit or trench, placing the person in it, and replacing the soil. After death, a corpse will start to decay and emit unpleasant odours due to gases released by bacterial decomposition. Burial prevents the living from having to see and smell the decomposing corpse, but it is not necessarily a public health requirement. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the WHO [World Health Organization] advises that only corpses carrying an infectious disease strictly require burial.
