Pretty easy graves

[craig_christ]

See /viewtopic.php?f=7&t=20537
Ive noticed alot of players (myself included) like making graves for the fallen, albeit kin, or random people. and ive seen quite a few ideas for them, so here it goes again. SPOILER: i think theres a new idea near the end but im not positive if anyone has suggested it before.
So heres an idea, that i could imagine not being too difficult to add. it would take a body, and maybe 4 piles of dirt/runestone/ and then an item as in flower or curiosity of some sort, You could Craft a "gravesite" which would need you facing a runestone with the words of the stone on them, and a dead body within maybe a block or 2. Then you just have to have 4 piles of dirt and which then just makes a dirt mound, and the body's name (if there was one) is above it. The runestone becomes more "tombstone" like and, maybe being able to click the dirt and have a little menu similar to the Leanto, or Cart menu where you could place an item in it.

ON AN ADVANCED NOTE:
Maybe the Item you place in this persons Grave would go to their ancestors, or maybe the 1st ALT profile they have if there isnt an ancestor of sorts. maybe the Item could either spawn in their inventory (if there is room) or in their hearthfire. Just an idea, that people seem to want.

+1 to OP
i believe mourning the dead should be affected by light and dark too as far as how many inventory items you can send to the departed's descendants. (light you could send 3 neutral you could send 2 and night you could send 1)

This could all allow the skill of GRAVE ROBBING. Want to get more revenge on the person who pantsed you, after killing him? Wait for his freind to burry him, then Rob his grave of the flowwer or curiosity and of his skeleton

How about just a desecration skill that allows you to lower their ancestor's stats? (Yeah, I know that it's pretty useless given nobody uses much in the way of ancestory other than inheritance.)

Two words: viking funeral

A boat on a pyre!

[Gauteamus]

There should be different funeral rites to choose among, with different boni/drawbacki for the hearth sapling:
-"Normal" burial, optionally with cherry [tree] on top
-Cave Catacomb
-ship funeral pyre (ship set ablaze on river/lake)
-ship mound burial
-marsh mummification
-leave the corpse unattended but for the raven and badger
