Mourners and family members of victims gathered in the town of Uthai Sawan, Thailand, for a cremation of 19 of the victims of a daycare massacre that left 36 killed.
A former police officer carried out the rampage, using gun and knives to kill 18 children and their teacher.
Family and police officers carried small, white coffins to a local temple where they were cremated as mourners looked on. Some of the children were laid to rest dressed as doctors, astronauts, or other jobs they wanted to be when they grew up.
