Honey Burial

Execution

Mellification

1. As they near the end of their lives, the elderly give up all food and drink save for honey. Going so far as to bathe in it for what number of days remain to them.
2. Then, when the finally die, they are laid to rest in stone coffins dug at the foot of the honey towers and futher filled to the drim with more honey; where they remain at rest for 100 years.
3. By the end of that time, the body would have decomposed and mixed with the honey sitting in their bodies prior to their death and that are constantly being replenished by literal rivers of honey seeping into the stone.
4. The honey infused corspe is then cut up and distributed as a medicinal remedy for wounds, fractures and only a little consumed for internal issues.
