Sokka is standing in front of a small pyre a mile or two down the road from the farm. He wanted to be away from the main house, for attention and to spare anyone else the smoke and smell. It's been burning most of the night and is in the process of dying down, but even that should take a few more hours. At least until after the sun's come up.
The body resting on the wood base is small and slender and wrapped up in a bed sheet.

He's watching the flames more than the body.
