Not important what they do to the body... my soul will have gone. Leave it to the worms or to the bonfire.

But speaking of cemetary rituals, most of all I like cannibalism. No really. They bury their beloved in their own stomaches, so they will forever stay with their family and never be lonely. That's love.

Wanna have memorial diner recipes?

- fidji tribes burn the corpse and mix the ashes with banana mash, served in big wooden trays.
- certain south american "cannibals" do "mixed grill", placing the chopped meat pieces on a lattice over an open fire. While dear family members are prepared with decorations of flower and feather arrangement, slain enemies must suffer the torture of being just barbecued like ordinary lunch. Still it is a procedure of honor, because the essence of the foe is found worth to be consumed.
- A prof of mine was told by senior bounty hunters in papua that human flesh tastes very sweat in comparison with other kinds of meat, even sweater than pork, although this is not true for whites. Their flesh tastes much too salty, probably because of wrong diet. So for european funerals I would reccomend stewing the corpse and making soup. There are evidences of ancient celtic traditions to stew the corpse, but it is not proved wether they ate the flesh or just boiled it to prepare the bones.
