Death
Saskar, the death ceremony, is performed by cremating the deceased. To a Sikh,
birth and death are closely associated, because they are both part of the
cycle of human life, Ava Guvan, which is seen as transient stage towards
Nirvana, complete unity with God. The death ceremony may be split into two
parts; Saskar, the cremation and the Antim Ardas, the final prayer at the end
of the Bhog ceremony.
