 Honouring the dead: Volunteers are facing the daunting task of burning the bodies of earthquake victims following the tremor on Saturday

 

Flames: Family members stand next to the burning pyre of a family member at a cremation ground following the devastating earthquake 

 

Despite the sheer number of victims, mourning families are desperate to give their loved one the honourable send-off so revered in the Hindu tradition

 

 Mass: The cremations, which have been non-stop for three days, have been taking place next to the Bagmati river which divides Kathmandu

 

 'People are conducting the last rites wherever they can and without following the proper rituals,' a witness told IANS

 

Today, plumes of white smoke could be seen floating across Kathmandu, as hundreds of bodies were burned in the ghats beside the river

 

Almost every available space along the Bagmati river's banks and on its sandbank islands had been taken by the pyres

 

 Running out: The wood necessary to build the thousands of pyres which are used to burn the dead has started to run out

 

Family members carry a body as they take it for burial today in Kathmandu. The search operation to find survivors is still continuing 

 

Around these ceremonies, families gathered, wailing in grief for their loved ones. Scores of dead children were wrapped in orange and gold cloth on the ground, as their loved ones prayed for their souls in heartbreaking desperation

 

The bodies of victims from the earthquake that hit Nepal and surrounding countries lie on the ground before being cremated
