Question

Three forms of burials are found at Mohenjodaro, viz. complete burials, fractional burials (burial of some bones after the exposure of the body to wild beasts and birds) and post-cremation burials.
But the general practice was extended inhumation, the body lying on its back, with the head generally to the north.
At Lothal, in one case, the pit was lined with mudbricks, which suggests that shrouds or coffins were probably in vogue. From the Lothal cemetery comes evidence of another burial type with several examples of pairs of skeletons, one male and one female in each case, interred in a single grave. Though these may not necessarily indicate the practice of sati, they do suggest some sort of ceremonial burial of the wife or servant or dependents after the husband or the master.
At Harappa traces of a wooden coffin and bodies covered by a reed-shroud were found.
From Surkotada comes the evidence of the practice of pot-burial.
