Abstract

Ngaben is a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation. It has become a nation’s cultural heritage and is still being implemented to date. The ritual of Ngaben is a cremation ceremony that is accompanied and equipped with ceremonial facilities called Banten, carrying the corpse body, a place for burning the corpse in the form of an ox, or other forms. In the context of Bali, its implementation involves the extended family of the corpse, neighbors from Banjar residents, traditional local villagers, and is a family and mutual cooperation. Recently, a new method and place for cremation have emerged, such as the method of cremation in the crematorium. The method has become a new phenomenon that meets the requirements of modern society, such as time efficiency, low cost, no need for much energy, including anticipating everyday problems. The phenomenon is unlikely to become a new tradition in cremation activities. How to make this phenomenon an option without eliminating cultural traditions and local wisdom that attract tourists is a condition that requires good regulation. Therefore, a norm void appears in the arrangements for the implementation of Ngaben at the crematorium that requires attention. This research uses a normative juridical study method, which, with a good arrangement, will later create a condition that remains in maintaining the Ngaben ritual tradition with all its uniqueness and characteristics, passed down from generation to generation into local wisdom, and with exceptions in certain situations, the implementation of the Ngaben ritual through a crematorium is an option.
