You really are a joke Sexually Deviant Latin! It's not a funeral in the sense of either a western version or a normal Buddhist one.
Have you even the faintest idea what really happens? A massive funeral pyre will start to be constructed on Sanam Luang on January 10th and not completed until a month or two before the cremation at the end of next year. The pyre itself will be 50.49 meters tall and centred in a huge complex of other temporary teak structures. Many hundreds of thousands of people will come, many from overseas, long before the cremation actually takes place to inspect the constructions and watch the various elaborate processions beforehand.

No doubt you paid zero attention to the last amazing Royal cremations when the King's older sister Princess Galyani had another elaborate ceremony in 2008, or that of the Princess Mother in 1996.
