Across the world, multiple burial practices are observed. 


Mummification


Mummification is one of the most common burial practices in the world, most prevalent in Yekare


In many parts of Yekare, the deceased is mummified after death by priests of Karad-Dun due to a belief that only a mummified corpse may reach the Halls of Karad-Dun. Bodies are wrapped in linens and topped with a portrait of the deceased's likeness.
