I have read all the old posts on this subject, but did not find what I want to offer.
While I played, I found the bodies of unknown travelers who still lie under my gate. In Brodgar I saw piles of skeletons, lying in front of the houses. I think this is not the best use of such an object like a skeleton.
I propose to add the ability to bury the body and make a tombstone, on which the player can write whatever he wants. Like a runestone which can not be lifted. This adds to the game entourage and somehow solve the problem of "what to do with another corpse." And
It would be great to make this tombstone served as the ancestral shrine, after all we are doing offerings to our ancestors, right?
I mean, if the ancestor of the player is buried beneath this tombstone, then player can bring offerings.
I think that then sooner or later will appear cemeteries outside cities. There will come descendants and perform their rites sometimes. Or lonely tomb in the backyard. What do you think there is any sense?

This world is cursed!
I agree, it would be good to be able to clean up after a murder.
As fun as death and carnage and destruction is...
Its really messy.
Maybe an option to just dispose of the body.

Still, bones could be used to erect monuments to Fallen heroes, Loved leaders, and venerable tradesmen.
