The whales died after washing ashore in Orkney, Archipelago, Scotland.
The animals were found on the Sanday Island last Thursday, in what is seen as to be the largest mass stranding for decades.
And some that were still alive were euthanised.
The carcasses are being buried at multiple land sites, which got approval following tests which were carried out for the prevention of any possible disturbance to archeological sites.
Hopefully, the burials will be completed by Wednesday.
