The bodies after long preparation are put inside wooden bulls. The bulls burn for a long time. The ashes are then thrown into the sea or a river.

This is a bad ass way to go right here.

If the body is gone, how can the gospel of the flesh continue.

Does this have anything to do with Baal or Moloch?

  From Wikipedia: 93.18% of Bali’s population adheres to Balinese Hinduism, while most of the remainder follow Islam.

  Ba’al is just a title like Lord or Master. But if the bodies inside these bulls were still alive and being burnt as a sacrifice to someone, then this would be Moloch
