The Thai Rama VIII King Funeral

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ananda_M...
HM King Ananda Mahidol, Rama VIII (September 20, 1925 - June 9, 1946) was the eighth king of the Chakri dynasty of Thailand.Prince Ananda Mahidol Mahidol (Mom Chao Ananda Mahidol Mahidol - หม่อมเจ้า อานันทมหิดล มหิดล) was born in Heidelberg, Germany. He was the first son of Prince Mahidol Adulyadej of Songkhla (son of King Chulalongkorn) and Mom Sangwal (last title Somdej Phra Sri Nakarindhara Boromaratchachonnani) who were studying there at the time. King Vajiravhud, his uncle, sent a telegram on October 13, 1925 auspiciously naming him "Ananda Mahidol" meaning "the joy of Mahidol". It is his first name. It is pronounced "Ananta Mahidon". When he held his birth rank of "Mom Chao" and the surname was "Mahidol".
He followed his parents to Paris, Lausanne, and then to Massachusetts when, in 1927, another uncle, King Prajadhipok issued a royal edict exalting him to the higher princely class of Phra Worawong Ther Phra Ong Chao. (This edict also benefited other "Mom Chao" who were the children of Chao Fa and their commoner wives, among them his elder sister Mom Chao Galyani Vadhana and his younger brother who, upon his birth later in the year, was born Phra Worawong Ther Phra Ong Chao Bhumibol Adulyadej).
The family returned to Thailand in 1928 after Prince Mahidol finished his medical studies at Harvard University. Prince Mahidol died at age 37 in 1929, when Ananda Mahidol was just 4 years old. His widowed mother was thus left to raise her family alone.
A coup d'état in 1932 ended the absolute monarchy.
Then King Prajadhipok abdicated in 1935.On March 2, 1935 Prince Ananda Mahidol was elected by the Thai parliament and government to succeed his uncle, King Prajadhipok.
On June 9, 1946, the King was found shot dead in his bedroom in the Grand Palace. The cremation was done
in 1950.

A sad story. It is sayed, King Ananda had kind heart and great potential. At least, he was sent to heaven the way he deserved - his funeral was relatively modest, but dignified, traditional and authentic with him being actually present in his vessel (โกศ) and being yielded to fire of burning sandalwood, rather than messing around with symbolic vessels and coffins and then burn the body in electric oven.

平教經 yes for me it is more sacred to have the King really present in the Urn..but it's King Rama IX own wish so we can't say anything
