I enjoyed that, Fnord. I would like my body to be so distributed upon my demise, perhaps to the Vultures of High-Street.Org. (Except for my enormous wang, which will be flown as underslung cargo by Sikorsky, to a snowy village in the high Andes of Peru, where it will feed a community of poverty-stricken Indians for a winter, that they may save their precious llamas for blankets, milk and buttsex.)
Might I ask...do you find anything laudable in these funeral rights, or did you present this video to illustrate a darker point about Tibetans?

Neither. I uploaded it because the visuals were freaky, and the music sounded like dreck you would hear at the local New Age paraphernalia shop. It was a fascinatingly horrible combination.

The singing is at least partially Tuvan throat singing I think. I believe that whistling sound at the end is the male singer's voice.
Here's an extremely good movie about it: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0187859/
An extremely good movie in general, it's a documentary about this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Pena.
