Also, "fiat" graves, so a grave by declaration? Interesting concept, especially for bodies that couldn't be recovered for whatever reason.

"The memory of cremation seems to linger in them solely as a method of disposing of bodies which will not lie quiet after death, or of someone so troublesome in life that destruction by fire at the funeral seems the only means to prevent the corpse from ‘walking’ out of its grave-mound." This is really interesting, what would they mean by not being quiet? like, necromancy?
