A family in Agra cremates 8 of its own in a day

At the helm of a large family, Ashok Goyal, 65, always took pride in helping neighbours and relatives whenever there was a need -- in marriages and in death. On Sunday, he needed them. With seven members of his family lying at his door in coffins, some of them small ones, Goyal needed at least 28 pallbearers.
