Burial tradition in YN

[El-Amin Caliphate]

Burials are done based on Al-Islam.

[Manokan Republic]

There was no specific burial tradition for the region beyond that of other cultures, but being a sea-fairing nation there's sort of an Anachronistic, apocryphal view of "sending people off to sea" on wooden boats, even though this really didn't happen all that often in Manoka's past.

[Kliia]

All of Kliia's dead are immediately cremated. After this, the ashes are placed onto a table with three candles around it. Once this is done, either the mother or the spouse of the person (if the person had neither, a Kliian priest will be called in to do the ritual) will say, "O Domine Cliklii, accipere personam hanc ad caelum!" This means, "Oh Lord Cliklii, allow this person to the heavens!" With that, it is believed that the person is accepted into heaven with the Lord Cliklii, and the ashes are put on display in the person's home or local church.

ALL HAIL CLIKLII!

[Tierra Prime]

On ships and space habitats, cremation is mandatory, while on planets, burial is the most common practice. Bodies are typically embalmed before burial, although this isn't strictly necessary. Funerals may take place in a church or temple, if the person was religious, or in a state-run funerary centre, if they were not. Tierran cemeteries extend deep underground, as Imperial law places limits on how much surface space cemeteries can use. Due to these limitations, plus a desire by the populace to be close to their ancestors, an extensive network of catacombs has developed underneath the capital, Alexandria. A network of catacombs also exists beneath the Imperial Mausoleum, a burial complex north of Alexandria in which members of the Imperial Family are interned. Members of the Imperial Military may chose to be interned in the Imperial Mausoleum should they wish, but it is not mandatory. Many, however, chose to be interned due to the enhanced pensions and prestige it grants their families. Bodies which are interned in the Imperial Mausoleum are placed in large marble sarcophigi, which feature bronze plaques on the front that record their occupant's name and rank. Some sarcophigi feature holographic generators which display images of what a person looked like in life, but these are not mandatory. Sarcophigi are typically placed within large marble vaults within the Imperial Mausoleum, separated from each other by several metres. The bodies of soldiers who cannot be identified are placed within catacombs beneath the Imperial Mausoleum, which extend deep underground. Access to the Imperial Mausoleum is strictly limited to friends and family of the deceased. In cases were the bodies of soldiers cannot be identified, visitation rights are granted to friends and family of the deceased, as it is possible their remains may have been interned within the catacombs. It is only in these cases that visits to the catacombs are normally permitted.

[Sadboiz]

Their bodies mostly get donated to science, if there is no use, they are respectfully buried at a graveyard. Although, death is not a big deal to our people, so you should not dress too formally while attending to the funeral of a loved one, as your normal outfit is more honest and being overly fancy dressed gives off a fake attitude. Like you care more about dressing well and acting sad rather than actually being sad.

[Socialist Union Of Deutschland]

Funerals are banned. This is due to some people having more attendants than others, making it socially competitive, and promoting radical individualism. Bodies are either burnt and the ashes are given to close connections such as relatives, or are thrown out in nature. Or, bodies are used for scientific research and experiments.

[Vyzhva]

In Vyzhva. deceased people are usually cremated, considering it's the only legal burial tradition. The compositions of the urns, the ash that is, is usually scattered in places known as "collective graves" in which the ashes of several thousands of deceased individuals are contained.

[Zeljunaar]

Burials are extremely uncommon in Zeljunaar, and are almost entirely practiced by immigrants or descendants of immigrants. Instead, most Tursaalle practice cremation.

Cremation began being widely practiced after the conquests of Hezyolos and the accompanying spread of Pahleinun in the late 1300s. This practice was rooted in the crematory practices of the Holiiz, who believed that the cremation of the body released the soul to be joined with Gosvern. Burials were considered to be extremely cruel, since they were believed to trap the soul of the deceased on the world.

Even though the contemporary theology of Pahleinun differs from that of the late 14th century, cremation is still practiced, albeit more as a matter of tradition and not of faith.

[AquilaJordyn]

Traditionally, the honored dead are buried in a sarcophagus, which is carried down into the catacombs beneath the city in which they lived. At night, and during the day when no one is there, the catacombs are silent, allowing the dead to rest. But when there is a funeral, the city of the dead comes alive. The tunnels fill to the brim, as a grand procession, lead by a Priest dressed in black vestments, with altar-servers swinging thuribles of incense, choirs singing a whole variety of songs, some somber and woeful, others joyous and glad, while the majority of the crowd prays for the honored dead out loud as they pass their marked sarcophagus, from the first to the last, where the person is to be laid, at the end of the catacombs. When the marked empty tomb is reached, the paul bearers bring the sarcophagus down into the empty tomb, while the priest offers blessings over the deceased, the paul bearers, and the tomb. The priest, with a torch in his hand, lights a line of kindling at the front of the tomb, on the stone bed where the sarcophagus is laid. As the paul bearers retreat, a massive wax tablet that sits above the ceiling of the tomb melts down over the fire, encasing the body in wax- wax is used to symbolize that though we are separated from the dead, as wax is brittle, they are close to us. Sculptures hired by the mourning family will often chisel fantastic artwork on the wax as it sets, depicting scenes explaining the persons life.

[Region Twenty]

Usable organic matter is harvested for consumption. The rest is either incinerated or dumped somewhere.

[Hopeington]

In hopington after you write your will you write the story of life so that the future generations may mimmic what work and not the bad things.

Then at the funeral the guests do what you would have limed them to. Then the dead person is either taken for science or turned into compost.

[Oswyn Islands]

We don’t see what’s so special with burial. Cremation is our method, with ashes being used to fertilise places of the deceased’s choice.

Sometimes, you get the minority who want a burial.

Our limited land area makes burial hard and expensive, so we’ve developed a culture preferring cremation. We admittedly took cues from Japanese, steppe and Tibetan culture.

Of course, you get a lot of people who donate their bodies to science.

[Austria Minor]

We eat our dead, only sensible thing to do and we may even chop up the dead bodies and sell them abroad as ‘Prime Meat’.

[Sovereign Slavic Republics]

The funeral rites of Rodvera, the native faith of the USSR, which revolves around cremation, the traditional method of helping the spirit reach the afterlife.

Several steps must be taken once a person has died so their body can be burnt and their soul can travel to the “other world.” The first step is washing the body. This ritual prepares the deceased’s for his or her meeting with the Gods. They then dress the body in all-white, handmade clothing left slightly unfinished because it belongs not in this world but the “other world.”

The body must wear a belt during its cremation because the deceased will need it when he or she is resurrected during the Last Judgment. Belts are significant in folk rituals. In folk tradition, belts mark out an individual’s private space and prove that he or she is a member of society and protect the wearer from dark forces.

After washing and dressing the body, the body is laid out in the house for three days before it is transported to the cremation site. The feet are placed close to the icon corner (containing icons of the Slavic Gods) so the deceased faces the corner and can pray if he or she desires. It is believed that the dead can still feel for a time after their death. For fear of waking the newly dead, mourning does not begin during the washing or dressing. Inappropriate funeral etiquette can also wake the dead.

The coffin, sometimes referred to as the “new living room,” is very comfortable, made like a bed with a pillow stuffed with birch bark or wood shavings. Mourners place objects in the coffin that the body might need after death such as money, food, favourite belongings, and reflections of status or occupation. Traditionally, men carry the coffin on their backs to the cremation site where the funeral will take place.

At the funeral, a priest performs the “seeing off” ceremony, praying over the body and allowing mourners to walk clockwise around the pyre. The priest then places a paper crown on the head of the deceased and the mourners light the pyre. After the funeral, mourners sing laments depicting the deceased leaving his or her family and the soul departing from the body.

Also it is important to throw away any handkerchiefs used to wipe away tears at the funeral. You should under no circumstances bring it home at it is believed that if you do this you are bringing tears into the house.

The ashes are collected after the pyre burns out and are placed in an earth ware urn. The urn is then placed in a small burial mound in the grounds of the temple.

[Stanlow Annex]

Cremation, mainly for sanitary reasons and lack of burial space, is the only recognized funereal custom in Stanlow Annex. Cremations are carried out at dispersed crematoria throughout the region.

[ZeeeeeWip]

Burial is uncommon in ZeeeeeWip, with recent surveys showing that at least 80% of people would prefer cremation and a further 5% saying they wanted to be fed to something after they died.

But when burials do take place, it is customary for a small explosive to be lowered into the ground with the deceased, and detonated once the grave is covered. This is both a safeguard against anyone being buried alive (for long) and a method by which certain religious groups believe the remains of the deceased are more quickly returned to the Earth.

[Subhurbia]

South Subhurbia: Cremation

Central Subhurbia: all of the above

[Philippines and North Borneo]

Burial is almost universally abhorred in Salwat as a result of the strong influences of Asician culture; the only people fit for 'burial' were monarchs, who even then were elaborately preserved to avoid decay and laid with luxuries to ensure comfort in the afterlife. Salwatines typically cremate their dead, it is not uncommon however to save costs the dead are preserved for a period of time before a day considered auspicious for cremations such that large batches of the deceased from across a locality are burnt, which is the typical method for the peasantry and urbanites. Nobles and more well-to-do members of society are able to get individual cremations. In rural areas and among highly religious people, sky burial is practiced.

A monarch can expect decent housing within a large, elaborate tomb complex with the other members of their dynasty. For everyone else however, remains are never retrieved, but tombstones are made to mark a family's deceased members such that they are not wholly forgotten.
