Trunyan, a location on the edge of Lake Batur, Kintamani, Bali. It is an area inhabited by the natives of Bali, and is famous for "funeral" a unique open. To reach the site we must use the services of available motor boats on the lake shelf. Trip to a location approximately takes 20 minutes.
It is said that residents in the area Trunyan is a native of Bali, before the arrival of the Balinese who are descendants of "Mojopahit". In this area there is a fairly unique burial customs. Residents who had died his body was buried on a large rock basin which has 7 pieces. Only corpses lined woven bamboo taste. Uniquely after for days - days even though not embalmed, the corpses was not spread bad smell.
Indigenous Villages Trunyan regulate the procedures for citizens to bury. In this village there are three grave (sema) that are intended for three different types of death. When one resident died of natural Trunyan, his corpse will be covered with white cloth, diupacarai, then placed without buried under a big tree called Taru incense, at a location called Sema Wayah. However, if the cause of unnatural death, such as accidents, suicide, or murdered, his corpse will be placed at a location called Sema Bantas. As for burying babies and small children, or people who've grown but not married, will be placed in the Sema Young.
Explanation of why the bodies were sprawled casually on sema though it does not cause odor naturally, still occurs decomposition of the bodies is due to Menyan Taru tree, which can remove the smell fragrant and is able to neutralize the smell of rotting corpses. Taru means the tree, while incense is fragrant. Taru incense tree, only grows in this area. Be Tarumenyan who later better known as Trunyan believed to be the origin of the name of the village.
