Far from being a sorrowful situation, there was lively banter between the body breaker and the attendees, presumably from the deceased family. Tibetans live a hard life even in modern China and far from being stoic, they are a very pragmatic people. The soul has departed and this is just the corpse and what better use can it be but be fodder for another living thing. It's a noble thing to do.
This was the monk presiding over the shole event. He is joking with them and was even interested in some of the photos taken by some of us.
