The cremation was conducted on Tuesday and Wednesday in accordance with the Balinese Hindu rituals, Director of Sanglah Public Hospital's Operational Planning and General Affairs Ni Luh Dharma Kerti Natih stated here on Tuesday.
Eight of the 30 bodies of the abandoned corpses cremated this week were of foreign nationals, while the remaining 22 were of Indonesians.
The cremation was conducted after no one claimed the bodies. Several other bodies could not be identified.
"The hospital cares for the abandoned corpses, so that they will not be kept in caskets of the hospital's forensics room for long period of time," Natih noted.
The abandoned corpses belonged to up to the productive age bracket, she remarked, adding that those from the province's social office and police had allowed the hospital to cremate them.
