Besides the above-mentioned ways as a mainstay, there are some other minor practices.

Cliff Burial : the typical examples are those existing in the Gyirong Zangbo River valley in Southern Tibet, where water burial and incineration are also coexistent. When a person dies, eminent monks will be commissioned to divine and to decide the rituals and methods of funeral. If cliff burial is decided, the body will be coated with ghee or milk, and treated with salts and perfume, and then occasion there are not even any utensils needed: the dressed body is simply bound with bands like a ball. The burial site is usually selected in places far away from human habitation, especially in the cliffs standing aside of torrential river valleys. Natural caves will often be used, which are usually 50 to 200 meters higher than the ground nearby, or 300 to 500 meters higher than the river level. There are also some caves dug by people. Usually the higher the cave is located, the higher status the departed has, and the more solemn the ceremony will be.

Tree Burial: primarily practiced in Nyingchi Prefecture, it is mainly for aborted children. The process is to clean the body with salt solution, then place it into a wooden crate, cask or bamboo basket, and carry it to forested area north-facing on the mountain, and hang on a great tree, so the other children of the family will be free being harmed again.

Furthermore, there are hanging coffin burials, multi-person burials and stone coffin burials, etc.
