Honoring the dead

On yull, there are four different ways to honor the dead--one for each of the four most intelligent races that roam the land. The humans carve out pit in stone in which they lay their deceased comrades, then cover these with stone slabs and pack soil around the edges. This is the same for all humans, unaffected by rank or status. These shallow tombs are given an area in which to make them; a graveyard of sorts. It is an atrocity to dishonor the dead, whether they were nobles or criminals in life. Each slab of stone covering a tomb is engrave with a name and the date of death. Each is made of solid Lagnite, carved smooth by channelers who have been assigned this sacred duty.
Goblins use a vastly different method: They build covered reed boats with their fallen inside and set them at the water's edge in a special place, letting the weak side slowly sweep them away. The boats are intentionally built so as to be not completely watertight, and eventually sink below the surface, a representation of the falling sun as it leaves the sky each day.
Locustai bring their dead relatives to the beach as well, and bury most of their bodies in sand, until only the top shell is seen above the surface. They then guard the body for up to about two Yullian months before burying it completely and moving on. Even after this, they often return to the place where their relative was buried, somehow remembering the exact spot through a combination of long-lasting memory and animalistic instinct. Locustai treat death very seriously because of their incredibly long lifespans.
Faeries Bury their dead in holes in reed-lined holes in the ground, a a process adapted from the human practice mentioned above.
