Tamed Suffering during Death Bhardo, try to recognize your own Buddhachitta behavior. When your death phase is recognize then you will feel ease..
"BHAR :Between DO :Two so, Bhardo : Intermediate state "
In order to know the Buddhism Philosophy, you should make yourself clear with Reincarnation and Impermanence term. If you are 100 % sure with these two terms then you can understand ..
Bhardo teaching not only for Buddhist community but can't be experience by anyone in the SAMSARA
Gold and Dharma Teachings are identified Pure only after Fire "Cremation"
Death is not fear, death is permanent, Every single breathing is death.
BREATH-IN= LIFE
BREATH-OUT=DEATH
Every single breath is Life and death case. When you Inhale its your life, when you Exhale you are death. so, our life is between single Inhale and exhale.
"Sleep is temporary Death and Death is Long Sleep"
Death is In-between stage In-between Life and rebirth.
Today's world the term Death is describe as one of the dangerous point i.e with lots of Fear and suffering like Fry over boiled oil, Sharped knife and many more...these are all man made imagination.
Death should be in calm. You should experience death as one beautiful opportunity of your life. Citta/ Mana or Mind is with you since begin less time period. When you are wake up stage of your life you would experience death as one moments of life other wise your mana or mind or your citta will suffer as you some time suffered in dream.
According to Bhardo text :The Tibetan Book of Death "Robert A.F. Thurman"
In our Nepalese community, Death body will be cremated only after 2 or 3 days or some time 49 days too..as per circumstances. It's because Physical body will die after Inhale and exhale stops but internal elements still working. They will stop stages after stages. Modern science certified that after person stops to breathe they are Dead but we can hear some news about Waking up of people during Cremation.
Stops Breathing means only 50 % Death of person.
As in Buddhist community, when you cremate him/ her within his/her 50 % death result you of Killing him/her alive or Firing him/her alive.
Final Cremation rituals is done either in 21 days of death day or 49 days of Death day because on this day Person will rebirth in new life cycle with new body but with the same confusing Mana/ Chitta or Mind.
Bhardo teaching is from Buddha himself in Vajrayana Class group. Buddhism got 3 different teaching stages. Shravakyana like Primary teaching class, Mahayana like Secondary teaching class and Vajrayana like Topmost and University level like teachings. Everyone can't understand teachings from different level so, Buddha separate these teaching and spread through out the world as per the Sanga's understanding capacity. Later , Guru Padmasambhava recollect Bhardo teaching from all around and made single text and give teachings to his 25 "single life siddhi achived students" around 8th Century. It was not well understandble so, Padmasambhava kept it secret in text and later after Guru Karma Lingpa "Niddhi dhar" known as second Guru Rinpoche again spread Bhardo teaching.

Russian who buried himself alive dies by mistake-https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-13623938
A Russian man has died after persuading a friend to bury him alive for a night, hoping it would bring him "good luck".
The victim dug a hole in a garden in the eastern city of Blagoveshchensk and climbed into an improvised coffin, with holes for air pipes, taking a mobile phone and a bottle of water with him.
His friend covered the coffin with earth and then left, after the buried man phoned to say he was fine.
The next morning, he returned to find his friend dead, investigators said.
The 35-year-old victim had believed that burying himself alive for a night would bring him luck the rest of his life.
"According to his friend, the man wanted to test his endurance and insistently asked his friend to help him spend the night buried," said Alexei Lubinsky, a senior aide to the region's chief investigator.
"We know that the victim was a computer programmer and that he has a small child."
*If a person is unable to know his/her Buddha nature and his death phase then he/she will have to go through another Bhardo after end of all these Fourth stage Death Bhardo. Now another Bhardo is DHARMADA BHARDO
