pyre

Powell believed Britain was "literally mad, piling up its own funeral pyre" and that the country was bound to descend into civil war.

Horses were often included on early Anglo-Saxon cremation pyres as a sign of status.

He was born to pose backlit by a pyre of flaming zombies and does so here, with the hot wind tickling his locks perfectly.

It is thought the objects may have been burnt on a funerary pyre before being buried, though no human remains were found.

I distinctly remember the heat and fumes from 37 funeral pyres burning simultaneously under the April sun at a Delhi crematorium.
