warrior cats funerary rites ideas below the cut

(tw for funerals, religious themes, animal death, cremation, scavenging, and brief discussion of preventing funeral rites)

thunderclan buries their dead after a vigil, just like in the books. but why? thunderclanners believe the vigil is the most important part of the funeral. its a final goodbye to the loved one, as well as a signal to let the cat know they are free to travel the starry path to silverpelt and take their place there. the body returns to the earth, as thunderclan believes all living things must. the cycle goes on.

riverclan believes the river to be a holy site, providing for cats in life and becoming their path to starclan in death. riverclan performs cremations, and spreads the ashes of the cat in the river or along the riverbank to be taken to starclan. they share stories during a celebration of life, as the healers take care of beginning the cremation process and then join the rest of the clan. important possessions are often burned with the cat, so that they may join them in starclan.

shadowclan, with its abundance of scavengers, reveres them in their funerary practices. in their marshy territory, cats were laid to rest in the driest patches of mud alongside their favorite foods in life, from steamed toads to juniper teas. in the secluded place they are left to the scavengers that shadowclan believes carries the spirits of the cats to starclan, while their bones sink back into the earth to grow into new greenery.

windclan, being the most religious of the clans, spend much of their funerals in hymn and prayer. they lay a cat out in the clearest part of camp with their favorite flowers, praying to starclan that the cat will run and hunt rabbits forevermore in starclan. their rites are by far the most religion-oriented of any clan, focusing on prayer rather than stories of the cat’s life. afterwards, windclan often makes the cats favorite meal and shares it underneath the stars as a final send off. a funerary precession then buries the cat beneath the tallest hill, closest to starclan.

the story goes that the founder of ancient skyclan outlawed funerals, as so of them were for cats that died at his claws. no one knows for certain.

in reality, ancient skyclan buried their dead at the roots of trees, believing cats would be reincarnated into them in their next life. the funerals were short in early skyclan, often a few simple prayers. later ancient skyclan often gave powerful speeches and poetry to honor the fallen. usually only family members attended. at the end of a funeral, usually at sunset, the cats would wait there until the final bird sung.

modern skyclan, being founded by kittypets, is heavily influenced by their traditions. their funerals are true celebrations of life, with everything from dancing, to singing, to playing instruments. they believe joy is the best way to send off the deceased, and often believe in the idea of the rainbow bridge as kittypets may. skyclanners prefer to hold their funerals on sunny days, a sight more common in the gorge than the lake territories. modern skyclan also keeps a graveyard, with carved clay plaques to commemorate the cats as they were in life. many believe cats who go uncelebrated cannot move on from the mortal plane until they are.

bloodclan buries their dead quickly and quietly, usually in parks. the family may perform their own rites, but this is a small and heavily varied ceremony. their collars, however, are preserved and cared for to honor the cat who once bore it.

warriorclan, like kittypets, believe in the rainbow bridge. they bury cats on sunny days and share stories of their lives. they believe all dead cats go to a better place.

kittypets vary in their views and practices, especially towards the nature of death and the afterlife. the concept of the rainbow bridge is common but not collective. many kittypets, loners, and rogues have no funerals nor strong beliefs at all.

Dead to You (Are You at the Wake?) Chapter 2- You Wear the Same Jewels That I Gave You, As You Bury Me

Luke Skywalker hums to himself as walks into the reefer of the funeral home he works at, looking for his first corpse of the day.

A Mr. Tarkin is first on the docket, as the hum of the cremation retort echoes through the building, and Luke’s eyes drift over the stacks of cardboard boxes holding the dead.

He locates him and wheels him out of the cold room, into the preparation chamber and lifts off the lid of the box.

-

Din’s son is dead: To begin with, there's no doubt whatsoever about that.

What there is doubt about, however, is how Din can possibly go on; having loved and lost in a way he never expected he would.

The only thing keeping him moving is the thought that Grogu would want him to. So, he soldiers forth, through the numbing pain and the aching grief; just trying to get through one day at a time.

Until he meets Luke.

Luke, who refuses to leave Din’s loneliness unbroken and makes him feel like, maybe, he could live again.

It's only fitting, then, when Luke reveals that he is a Mortician. It's his life’s mission to help distraught families send off their loved ones to whatever awaits in the undiscovered country from which no traveller returns.

Din thinks that being surrounded by death must be his life’s new purpose.

Din is more right than he knows.

Several years ago, after my grandma passed, I was helping to go through her stuff. She had used the downstairs bedroom for years before she finally had to go to an assisted living place, so the majority of her stuff was still in the house.

My mom and aunt were taking a break to go through some papers, and I was still poking around and sorting things. Which is also how I found grandma's wedding ring that had been missing for years, but I digress.

As I was looking through things, I noticed a very pretty egg. Not a faberge egg or anything, but kind of that style. Gold and blue, with some sparklies on the outside. It was heavier than I expected, and hinged.

Naturally, I looked inside.

A little bag of black gray powder sat inside, and I was very confused. I closed the egg. Looked back at where it had sat on a shelf for years. Noticed the picture of my aunt Liz (who had passed when I was perhaps 11 or 12).

"Mom!" I yelled, still looking at the egg in my hands. "I think I found Aunt Liz!"

Which is how we discovered that my grandma had kept ashes from Aunt Liz for over a decade.

So I think there's a dead dude in the shed.

The late husband of the previous owner was a woodworker, and had this awesomely kitted out shed in the backyard for his craft. Literature. Supplies. Half-finished projects. If his children hadn't ransacked the place after his death looking for whatever would sell, it would have been amazing. As it is, my husband's been making a project of trying to clean it, bit by bit.

And today, he found a Freemason crematory urn, hidden behind a pile of abandoned lumber.

Without a lid, so there's no name or other information on the urn.

Just a bunch of ashes, open to the air, with the remains of some critter's nest over the top of them.

We have found Freemason stuff in the house, the late husband was definitely in the Order. And there's a full crematory urn in our shed. My husband is frantically trying to get ahold of the previous owner, and horrified about what he might or might not be about to learn.

Emergency financial help for Boe’s mother

"So as some of you may know, my mother passed away last night, she went peacefully and in my arms. She’s been sent to a funeral home to be cremated, they called me and told me the cost of cremation will be $786. As of now I am flat broke after moving into my first apartment, I cannot afford to pay for her cremation and I only have 10 days to come up with the funds before the state takes her body. I want to do right by my mother one last time and get her home with me. I’ve made a GoFundMe to see if anyone could help or share. If y’all could share this, I would really appreciate it, I just want my mom to be home with me. I also have a

just had a horrific thought after seeing this post:

i’m sure if emily was actually cremated, because of the strength of her relationship with the team, that she would ask one of them to spread her ashes

but can you imagine if they actually faked that? that the fbi and witness protection knew she had expressed these wishes and faked ashes? gave them to the team (with hotch and jj’s help, by the way) and they spread them like emily asked them to, in a place that meant a lot to her?

can you imagine them feeling their friend’s body in their hands, to dust she shall return, and then finding out it was all a lie? how empty would that make you feel? knowing that the way you honored her meant absolutely nothing at all?

you thought she was carried away on the wind, and now here she is in front of you, and you have to reconcile that in your brain? how fucked up would that be? at least no one saw her body in the casket — seeing the ashes and thinking that they WERE her?
