Bali, Indonesia ? Body parts belonging to victims of last year’s Bali bombings were cremated Saturday in a simple ceremony on the Indonesian resort island.

The mostly unidentified remains were collected from the nightclub where bombs exploded Oct. 12 and killed 202 people, most of them foreigners.

The ceremony was led by Hindu priests, but mourners were invited to say prayers before it began. Among those present were an Australian police chaplain and representatives of countries who lost people to the attack.

“We are praying to ensure God receives the souls of those who were killed,” said Hindu elder Made Molin, who lit the gas-fired furnace before two coffins containing the remains were wheeled inside.

Most of the 185 body parts cremated were either too burnt or too small to be identified. A few parts were identified and the families of the victims agreed to have them cremated on Bali.

Remains of two Americans, two South Koreans, one Swede, one French citizen, one Canadian and one Polish victim were among those cremated, officials said.

The cremation took place in a shady corner of a Buddhist graveyard studded with almond trees.

Later, priests brought the ashes of the victims to a beach close to the cremation site.

After laying down offerings of fruit and flowers, the priests boarded a traditional Balinese boat and put the ashes in the sea.

Muslim militants linked to Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaida network have been blamed for the attack on a popular nightclub district on the island. The trials of several key suspects in the bombings are scheduled to begin on the island later this month.
