Different cultures and ancestries often treat the bodies of the dead differently. In some cultures, including certain Canathi and Crusader ones, it is customary to cremate bodies. In others, including those of the church of the Immortal Memory, one should instead be buried in graveyards or crypts. Others yet again wish for bodies to be returned to nature as mulch for plantlife, or to be eaten by fauna such as on sky-burial towers.

Dwarves become as statues when they die, and wish to be left as such. Ideally, the site of their statue becomes a Shrine, and if secluded, may contain their most cherished tools, weapons or creations.

In history some Halflings have had their Halfling Markings turned into books or scrolls, to document history and the experiences of their lives. More recently it has become normal to print these over onto paper or tablets instead of using their actual skin.

Elves, as a particularly beautiful and rare creation, are often kept by collectors as dolls after their deaths. This can be due to their aesthetics and value, though some also study them in the hopes of uncovering their lost formula. Poppets are also sometimes kept as keepsakes.

Automatons have no shared funerary custom, and many are pilfered for parts or research.

Eydwin pyramids also exist.
